These waterborne resins have low viscosities without the use of diluting acrylates 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 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 and can provide outstanding exterior durability Polyester acrylates are used in a wide range of applications including flexographic and lithographic inks and coatings for paper and wood. Some specialty polyester oligomers provide good adhesion to various substrates. Polymeric resins in monomer can provide adhesion to difficult substrates with low shrinkage and better film formation. Epoxy acrylates are used in formulations requiring superior chemical resistance, hardness and fast cure. Mono, di, tri and higher functional acrylate diluents reduce the viscosity of oligomers and can contribute important physical properties to cured formulations. Several additives are designed to assist with adhesion or enhance the wetting, flow or slip characteristics of coatings. All are co-polymerizable. Photoinitiators absorb UV light and start the polymerization. Product types are hydrogen abstraction, amine synergists and mixtures.

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.

Key Word
Description Expressed in mg KOH per gram. For some materials, acid value is reported as weight % acrylic acid. 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 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. Mass per unit of volume at 25C, expressed in grams per milliliter. Average elongation (strain) at break expressed as the percent change in the gauge length, measured on the UV cured homopolymer of the product. Theoretical number of acrylate double bonds per molecule. Minimum film formation temperature. The temperature at which a continuous film is formed after the evaporation of volatile materials from a dispersion or emulsion. The calculated weight based on the theoretical chemical composition. 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 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 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 homopolymer of the product. Glass transition temperature in C of the UV cured homopolymer of the product as measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Viscosity in centipoise (cP) or poise (P) measured at 25C and at the sales specification temperature if other than 25C. cP = mPas. Average molecular weight per amine group. Also known as elastic modulus; the force required to elongate a material and calculated 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.
