EBECRYL® 5848

EBECRYL® 5848 by allnex is a low-VOC epoxidized soya oil acrylate based in part on renewable resources. It is a BPA (Bisphenol A)- and solvent-free grade. It enhances adhesion and flexibility when used as a modifier in inks and clear or pigmented coatings on paper, wood and metal.

• It exhibits good compatibility, long pot-life, faster cycle time, low-temperature curing, lower energy consumption and low flammability.
• It provides moderate viscosity, improved flow & levelling, good surface appearance and good pigment- & substrate wetting in ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) energy curable inks & coatings.
• It offers high gloss potential, improved hardness and good hydrophilic-lipophilic balance for lithography.
• Formulated UV/EB curable products may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain, immersion & spin coating methods and flexographic, lithographic and screen printing.
• EBECRYL® 5848 is recommended for overprint varnishes for paper, screen ink vehicles, metal decorating and protective coatings.
