EBECRYL® 160
EBECRYL® 160, a reactive diluent, is a staple in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) energy-curable coatings and inks. This versatile compound imparts crosslinking to coatings and inks, maintaining flexibility and toughness. Among common triacrylate diluents in energy-curable formulations, EBECRYL® 160 leads in reactivity and viscosity reduction of oligomers. Compatible with a broad spectrum of acrylated resins used in UV/EB curing applications, EBECRYL® 160's attributes, including hardness, abrasion resistance, and high gloss, contribute to its popularity in overprint varnishes, inks, coatings, and electronic applications like photoresists.
