EBECRYL® P115

EBECRYL® P115 by allnex is a copolymerizable amine-based hydrogen donor, or photoactivator in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. It can be used with EBECRYL® P39 (a polymeric benzophenone derivative) for formulations requiring low residual odor. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. benzophenone), it provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface.

• It is characterized by very low viscosity, light color, improved stability vs. conventional tertiary amines and low volatility.
• It offers excellent UV cure response, reduced odor, no surface migration of amine, no reaction of amine with organic pigment and high gloss.
• It is used in overprint varnishes, screen & flexo inks, wood topcoats, clear coatings on paper & plastics and pigmented coatings.
• Formulations containing EBECRYL® P115 may be applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die, knife over roll, air knife, curtain and immersion and spin coating methods, as well as flexographic and screen printing.
• Recommended dosage level is 5-15% based on total formulation, usually combined with 3-5% photosensitizer.
