EBECRYL 5849 resin is the latest addition to Allnex’s portfolio of highly versatile energy curable polyester acrylates. This new resin is plant‐based thus made mostly from biopreferred materials. EBECRYL 5849 can be formulated for either UV LED cured coatings or 100% sprayable formulations.
EBECRYL 5849 is a multi‐functional polyester acrylate that provides cured films with good hardness and scratch resistance. The product shows excellent thermal and mechanical properties combined with low viscosity, high cure speed and hardness. These properties make it ideal for use in OPV’s, flexo inks and matt scratch resistant topcoats for parquet as well as for high gloss pigmented 100% sprayable furniture applications. EBECRYL 5849 can be cured either by EB, UV or UV LED light.Moreover, EBECRYL 5849 is part of Allnex’s resin portfolio which contains renewable raw materials. The new resin is plant‐based and consists of 56% of renewable content, allowing formulators to incorporate the resin into their bio‐preferred inks and coatings.
“Especially for UV LED cured applications, EBECRYL 5849 has shown outstanding results in terms of reactivity and properties of the final coating,“ says Marie‐Astrid Goes, Global Marketing Manager at Allnex. “EBECRYL 5849 is not just a high performance resin with unique properties. Due to its high content of renewable raw materials, its development underlines Allnex’s commitment to meet the industries sustainability goals,” she concluded.
