Cytec Launches New Energy Curable Resins for
Industrial Metal Applications in North America
January 29, 2007
West Paterson, NJ, Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE:CYT) today
launched two new energy curable resins for a broad range of
industrial metal applications.
EBECRYL® 3213 epoxy acrylate is designed to provide outstanding
adhesion to metal substrates for general pipe and tubing
applications. UV/EB cured formulations containing EBECRYL 3213
epoxy acrylate are characterized by exceptional hardness,
durability, corrosion resistance, and superior chemical
resistance.
EBECRYL® 1701-TP20 acrylated acrylic is a copolymer with great
flexibility, gloss and weatherability, and provides excellent
adhesion to cold rolled steel and aluminum. EBECRYL 1701-TP20
acrylated acrylic has been specially formulated for packaging
applications, including can coatings and metal decorating inks,
and for clear coatings for general industrial applications.
These new products join Cytec’s growing portfolio of energy
curable resins for metal coatings which include EBECRYL® 885
polyester triacrylate and EBECRYL® 3708 modified Bisphenol-A
epoxy diacrylate.
EBECRYL 885 polyester triacrylate is an economical resin with
high flexibility and excellent abrasion resistance. EBECRYL 3708
modified Bisphenol-A epoxy diacrylate offers a unique
combination of increased flexibility and toughness, and
excellent adhesion to most metal substrates.

EPA Qualification Helps Cytec Speed Eco-friendly Products to
the Marketplace
In 2006, Cytec was named as the first company to qualify for the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Sustainable Futures
program which includes approval for a shortened regulatory
review process for certain new products. As a result, the EPA’s
Premanufacturing Notice review period for Cytec products
assessed as low overall risk will be halved from the minimum of
90 days to only 45 days, thus increasing the speed at which
eco-friendly products can reach the marketplace.
