EBECRYL® 3605

EBECRYL® 3605 by allnex is a light color, partially acrylated ester of a bisphenol A type epoxy resin. It contains both acrylate and epoxy functionality. It may be cured by exposure to either ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) in conjunction with conventional epoxy curing. It may also be cured with UV radiation using a mixed photoinitiator system consisting of free radical and cationic photoinitiators. It is developed for applications requiring improved coating performance properties over those obtainable with conventional UV/EB curing alone. It is recommended for coatings and inks for metal substrates including aluminum. It is designed for applications requiring fast cure speed of an epoxy acrylate with improved flexibility and superior adhesion to rigid, non-porous substrates. EBECRYL® 3605 offers high gloss finish, surface hardness and good solvent resistance. Formulated products may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain, immersion and spin coating methods as well as offset and screen printing. It is suitable for dual (UV/thermal)- and two component- curing systems.
