Technical Datasheet

ALIPHATIC URETHANE DIACRYLATE

INTRODUCTION TYPICAL CURED PROPERTIES

EBECRYL® 4883 is an aliphatic urethane diacrylate diluted 15% by weight Tensile strength, psi (MPa) 2900 (20)
with the reactive diluent tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). Films of Elongation at break, % 83
EBECRYL® 4883 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) Glass transition temperature, °C 4
combine abrasion resistance, flexibility, and adhesion with good exterior

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS EBECRYL® 4883 - VISCOSITY REDUCTION WITH REACTIVE DILUENTS

EBECRYL® 4883 is characterized by:

· Light color
· Low odor
UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL® 4883 are characterized by
the following performance properties:
· Excellent abrasion resistance
· Good exterior durability
· Flexibility
· Good adhesion
· Non-yellowing
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the
selection of other formulation components, such as reactive diluents,
additives and photo initiators.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature
conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis or
acids. This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product
with the generation of heat. Storage and handling should be in stainless
steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined
containers. Procedures that remove or displace oxygen from the material
should be avoided. Do not store this material under an oxygen free
atmosphere. Dry air is recommended to displace material removed from
the container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly
closed. Use with adequate ventilation.
See the SDS for the recommended storage temperature range for
EBECRYL® 4883.
