INTRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
EBECRYL® P115 is a copolymerizable amine used as a hydrogen donor, or Appearance Clear liquid
photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When Color, Gardner max. 2

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Before using EBECRYL® P115, see the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for
information on the identified hazards of the material and the
EBECRYL® P115 is characterized by: recommended personal protective equipment and procedures.
· Light color
x
· Low viscosity
· Improved stability vs. conventional tertiary amines STORAGE AND HANDLING
· Low volatility Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature
UV/EB cured products based on EBECRY®L P115 are characterized by the conditions, direct sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents, alkalis or
following performance properties: acids. This might cause uncontrollable polymerization of the product
· Excellent UV cure response with the generation of heat. Storage and handling should be in stainless
· Reduced odor steel, amber glass, amber polyethylene or baked phenolic lined
· No surface migration of amine containers. Procedures that remove or displace oxygen from the material
· High gloss should be avoided. Do not store this material under an oxygen free
The final properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the atmosphere. Dry air is recommended to displace material removed from
selection of other formulation components such as reactive diluents, the container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly
additives and photo initiators. closed. Use with adequate ventilation.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS EBECRYL® P115.
Formulated UV curable products containing EBECRYL® P115 may be
applied via direct or reverse roll, offset gravure, metering rod, slot die,
knife over roll, air knife, curtain and immersion and spin coating
methods, as well as flexographic and screen printing. EBECRYL® P115 is
recommended as a reactive co-initiator in the following applications:
· Overprint varnishes
· Screen and flexo inks
· Wood topcoats
· Clear coatings on paper and plastics
· Pigmented coatings
