Cyclic trimethylol-propane formal acrylate is a mono functional acrylic monomer which can be polymerised by free radicals. This chemical is designed for the use in ultra violet and electron beam curing applications (UV and EB curing). It is particularly suitable for PVC, plastics applications, laminated adhesives, wood coatings, inks, stereo-lithography and photopolymer printing plates. Cyclic trimethylol-propane formal acrylate is a non flammable liquid with low volatility and moderate solubility in water. It is a clear, colourless and odourless liquid. It is non-flammable upon ignition and has a flash point above 120°C. It self-ignites at 245°C at 1013 hPa pressure.
Cyclic trimethylol-propane formal acrylate is a moderate skin sensitizer and is irritating to the skin upon exposure. Upon repeated exposure to this chemical does cause irritation in the human digestive system. Cyclic trimethylol-propane formal acrylate is inherently biodegradable in soil and sediments. Safety showers and eye-wash stations are installed in every Cyclic trimethylol-propane formal acrylate manufacturing units or in the various industrial facilities that use this chemical in manufacturing processes. Many environmental measures are taken so as to avoid ground water system contamination. The effluent released at the manufacturing unit is directed to waste water treatment plants that remove the chemical substance from the treated water.
