It exhibits moderate cure speed due to its average double bond density, but is a good crosslinker due to its high functionality. The medium double bond density makes it a prime choice as flexibiliser for hard, rigid films as for example for those based on bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate. The high flexibility supports substrate wetting with good flow and levelling and improves adhesion on polar metal surfaces. LAROMER EA 9101 is compatible with all mono- and multifunctional monomers as well as with all common polyester acrylates, epoxy acrylates and urethane acrylates. LAROMER EA 9101 is an important formulation component for UV/EB low migration inks and overprint varnishes due to its high molecular weight. view less |
