EBECRYL® 8413

EBECRYL® 8413 by allnex is a low/zero VOC, solvent-free, pigment grind urethane oligomer. It is used in conjunction with a letdown oligomer, EBECRYL® 1300 to develop non-blocking thermoformable inks suitable for first and second surface applications. It possesses light color and very high elongation at break, and exhibits high gloss, excellent flexibility and good milling properties. It provides good compatibility, long potlife, faster cycle time, low temperature curing and lower energy consumption.

• It offers block-, scratch- & temperature resistance, and good adhesion to a variety of untreated plastic substrates including polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyester, acrylic and glycol modified polyethyleneterephthalate (PET-G).
• It does not require corona discharge or flame pretreatment.
• UV cured thermoformable inks exhibit tack-free state after cure, low shrinkage (1.2%), and excellent intercoat adhesion.
• Formulated products containing EBECRYL® 8413 may be applied via flatbed screen methods and are recommended for use in screen inks in markets such as displays, signage, POP, vending machine panels, packaging, sporting goods, architectural, electronics, appliance nameplates, housing, toys and novelty items.
• It is also recommended for elastomers application by 3D printing, providing great shape recovery.
