EBECRYL® 896

EBECRYL® 896 by allnex is a multifunctional, dipentaerythritol penta/hexaacrylate monomer. It is characterized by high acrylate functionality, lower viscosity compared with standard DPHA and low acid value resulting in better ink/water balance when used in litho inks. This monomer polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. The UV/EB cured products exhibits fast cure response, high cross-link density, improved scratch & abrasion resistance, excellent hardness and good chemical resistance. It may be applied by lithographic, screen, gravure, direct or reverse roll, and curtain coating methods. EBECRYL® 896 is particularly useful in UV (ultraviolet) and EB (electron beam) curable inks & coatings.
