EBECRYL® 246/20 HEMA is a difunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate diluted with 20 parts HEMA. It distinguishes itself by excluding intentionally added organic tin compounds, heavy metals, or quinones. While acknowledging the presence of quinones in some raw materials, the overall content is reduced, but not zero. Films cured by electron beam (EB) or ultraviolet light (UV) display impressive attributes such as excellent abrasion resistance, toughness, flexibility, and resistance to yellowing. This product is further characterized by its water resistance, long pot life, faster cycle time, improved flexibility, low-temperature curing, and low energy consumption, making it a versatile and reliable choice for various coating formulations.
