ACURE 500 systems harness the high reactivity of Michael Addition enabling paint formulators to design two-component coatings with extremely fast drying and with uncharacteristically long pot lives. ACURE 500 consists of a strong base which is blocked with di-ethyl carbonate. ACURE 500 unblocks with the release of alcohol and CO2 and is the key enabler to the provision of fast dry times with long pot lives in ACURE coatings. The rate at which ACURE 500 unblocks may be controlled by the addition of an alcohol (typically ethanol, n-propanol, or n-butanol) to the ACURE coating.

ACURE 550-105 is an acid-free tetra-functional polyester acrylate and is used as a main Acceptor in ACURE chemistry combining good overall coating properties without skin sensitization hazard. ACURE 550-105 is characterized by light color, low irritancy, excellent overall properties and excellent durability. ACURE formulations containing ACURE 550-105 are characterized by high cross-link density, good gloss, excellent early hardness development and good chemical and mechanical resistance.

ACURE 510-270 a malonate functional polyester resin with a CH equivalent weight of 170 g/eq (calculated on as-supplied product), for use as a donor resin in ACURE systems. Contains 1.5 +/- 0.05 % succinimide.

EBECRYL® 3720-TM20 is the bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate, EBECRYL 3720, diluted 20% by weight with the reactive diluent trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) to provide a lower viscosity, easier handling product. EBECRYL® 3720-TM20 exhibits fast cure response and light color. Films of EBECRYL 3720-TM20 cured by ultraviolet light (UV) or electron beam (EB) demonstrate high gloss and surface hardness, and excellent chemical resistance.
