ACRYLATED DIPENTAERYTHRITOL

INTRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
Acrylated dipentaerythritol (DPHA) is a multifunctional reactive diluent Acid value, mg KOH/g, max. 10
that polymerizes when exposed to sources of free radicals. DPHA is Appearance Clear liquid
particularly useful in ultraviolet light (UV) and electron beam (EB) Color, Gardner scale, max. 3
curable coatings and inks where improved cure response, hardness and Viscosity, 25°C, cP/mPa·s 12000-20000
scratch/abrasion resistance are desired. DPHA is composed
x
predominately of the penta- and hexa-acrylate esters of
dipentaerythritol, with the overall composition represented by the TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

PRECAUTIONS
Before using DPHA, see the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for information on
the identified hazards of the material and the recommended personal
protective equipment and procedures.

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 DPHA.
