These waterborne resins have low viscosities without the use of diluting acrylates UCECOAT® Waterborne UV Resins and good physical properties after crosslinking. Several are tack-free after water evaporation.
LEO (Low Extractables and Odor) resins are specifically formulated to provide a EBECRYL® LEO Resins significant reduction in odor release and potential migration for producing inks and coatings for food and pharmaceutical packaging.
Urethane acrylates impart toughness and flexibility. Aliphatic types are non-yellowing EBECRYL Urethane Acrylates and can provide outstanding exterior durability
Polyester acrylates are used in a wide range of applications including flexographic and EBECRYL Polyether/Polyester Acrylates lithographic inks and coatings for paper and wood. Some specialty polyester oligomers & Diluted Polyesters provide good adhesion to various substrates.
Polymeric resins in monomer can provide adhesion to difficult substrates with low EBECRYL Polymer/Diluent Blends shrinkage and better film formation.
Epoxy acrylates are used in formulations requiring superior chemical resistance, EBECRYL Epoxy Acrylates hardness and fast cure.
Mono, di, tri and higher functional acrylate diluents reduce the viscosity of oligomers Diluting Acrylates and can contribute important physical properties to cured formulations.
Several additives are designed to assist with adhesion or enhance the wetting, flow or EBECRYL Additives slip characteristics of coatings. All are co-polymerizable.
Photoinitiators absorb UV light and start the polymerization. Product types are ADDITOL® & EBECRYL Photoinitiators hydrogen abstraction, amine synergists and mixtures.

29 Product Selection Guide
Selection Guide - Resins and Diluting Acrylates
The following table provides a comparison of select performance properties for the resin and diluent products. Each product family is assigned a relative ranking for each performance property represented by the numeral just below the column heading. The higher numeral indicates increased performance for that family. The number of bullets in each performance property column represents a relative ranking for that product within its product family. Better performance is indicated by more bullets. To compare the performance of products from different product families, multiply the number of bullets by the numeral.
For example, comparing the reactivity of the of the epoxy acrylate EBECRYL 3700 (••••) x 5 = 20) to that of the aliphatic urethane acrylate EBECRYL 1290 (••••• x 3 = 15) indicates that EBECRYL 3700 has the superior reactivity.
Note: For the performance category of viscosity, increased performance equals lower viscosity.

34 Key to the Tables
Key Word Description
Expressed in mg KOH per gram. For some materials, acid value is reported as weight % acrylic acid. Acid Value Note: acid value x 0.128 = % acrylic acid acid value x 0.1497 = % methacrylic acid
Average values in Gardner, Pt-Co (APHA), or iodine scales. • Gardner - range from light yellow to red defined by the chromaticities of glass standards numbered from 1 for the lightest to 18 for the darkest. • Pt-Co - defined by specified dilutions of a platinum-cobalt stock solution, ranging Color from 0 at the light end of the scale to 500 at the darkest. • Iodine - ranges from yellow to brown defined by specified dilutions of an iodine solution, ranging from 1 for the lightest color to 500 for the darkest. For colors registering 1 or less on the Iodine scale, the Platinum-Cobalt Units are applicable.
Density Mass per unit of volume at 25°C, expressed in grams per milliliter.
Average elongation (strain) at break expressed as the percent change in the gauge Elongation length, measured on the UV cured homopolymer of the product.
Functionality Theoretical number of acrylate double bonds per molecule.
Minimum film formation temperature. The temperature at which a continuous film is MFFT formed after the evaporation of volatile materials from a dispersion or emulsion.
Molecular weight The calculated weight based on the theoretical chemical composition. Particle size The mean size of the particles in dispersion, reported in microns.
The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous product. Numerically equal to 7 pH for neutral, pH increases with alkalinity and decreases with acidity over a range of 0-14.
The amount, expressed in percent, of the non-volatile material remaining from a Solids solution or dispersion when heated at a specified time and temperature.
Average stress in pounds per square inch at break, measured on the UV cured Tensile Strength homopolymer of the product.
Glass transition temperature in °C of the UV cured homopolymer of the product as Tg measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
Viscosity in centipoise (cP) or poise (P) measured at 25°C and at the sales specification Viscosity temperature if other than 25°C. cP = mPa•s.
Weight per Amine Average molecular weight per amine group.
Also known as elastic modulus; the force required to elongate a material and calculated Young’s Modulus from the ratio of stress to strain. It is indicative of the stiffness or rigidity of a material. Measured on the UV cured homopolymer of the product.
