EBECRYL® 438

EBECRYL® 438 is a reactive chlorinated polyester resin diluted 40% with the reactive diluent OTA-480. It exhibits good lithographic behavior and pigment wetting properties, and fast cure response in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. Films of EBECRYL® 438 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) display good adhesion to metals, plastics and paper.\n\nEBECRYL® 438 is recommended for: wet lithographic inks for paper, plastics, and metals, promoting adhesion for coatings on metal, plastics and paper, overprint varnishes applied by lithography, and post-formable inks.
