EBECRYL® LEO 10801

EBECRYL® LEO 10801 is a hexafunctional polyester acrylate oligomer developed for lithographic printing applications, particularly in the formulation of UV/EB curable inks. Here's a breakdown of its key features and specifications:

Introduction:

• EBECRYL® LEO 10801 is designed to provide high reactivity and proper ink-water balance for lithographic printing.
• It ensures good ink transfer from the printing plate to the substrate with good dot definition.
• Specifically formulated for UV/EB curable inks with low extractables and low odor for indirect food contact applications.

Performance Highlights:

• Excellent lithographic behavior and pigment wetting.
• Fast curing, good solvent resistance, high gloss, low extractables, and low odor in cured products.

Suggested Applications:

• Lithographic and flexographic inks.
• Offset overprint varnishes (OPV).
• Inks and coatings for indirect food packaging and related applications.

Specifications:

• Acid value: Maximum 15 mg KOH/g.
• Appearance: Clear dark liquid.
• Residual acrylic acid: Maximum 500 ppm.
• Residual solvent: Maximum 10 ppm.
• Viscosity at 25°C: 45600 - 52400 cP/mPa.s.

Mutagenicity Assessment:

• EBECRYL® LEO 10801 is considered a nongenotoxic product based on mutagenicity studies conducted according to OECD guidelines.

Viscosity Reduction:

• Can be diluted with low extractable/low odor diluting acrylates like EBECRYL® LEO 10501 and EBECRYL® LEO 10502.

Precautions:

• Follow safety guidelines provided in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• Avoid exposure to high temperatures, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis, or acids.
• Store and handle in appropriate containers with adequate ventilation.

It's a versatile material suitable for various printing and coating applications, ensuring high performance and compliance with safety standards.
