Cytec Launches EBECRYL™ 8110, A New Generation Easy-To-Clean Modifier Resin

Brussels, March 20, 2012 - Fingerprints and smudges on many consumer products such as mobile phones mar their intended sleek attractiveness. With this in mind, Cytec’s patented new second generation UV modified urethane acrylate, EBECRYL™ 8110, aims to satisfy this coveted customer need for pristine, long lasting, easy-to-clean fingerprint without smudge products, at a competitive price.

EBECRYL 8110 exhibits:
- Easy-to-clean fingerprints without smudge,
- Oil and water repellent - low surface energy,
- Resistance to permanent oil markers and inks,
- Surface effects resistance to mechanical and chemical wear, and
- Superior chemical resistance.

“The cost factor had confined the usage of state-of-art easy fingerprint removal surface effect to mostly high value components like touch screen displays. We are excited that EBECRYL 8110 will expand the reach of easy fingerprint removal technologies into the broader market of surface finishing with a cost effective modifier resin,” said Dr Mouhcine Kanouni, Global Marketing Manager, Cytec Industries Inc, (NYSE: CYT). Mouhcine added, “Contrary to the additives approach with known fading effect after surface wear, with
the recommended level of about 25% of EBECRYL 8110, coating suppliers will enjoy the freedom to formulate while enhancing their coating performance with an easy-to-clean, stain resistant, oil and water repellent surface effect.”
