Explore 5017 SpecificationsThe Republic of Turkey represents one of the most vibrant manufacturing powerhouses connecting the European Union, the Middle East, and Central Asia. With substantial industrial investments centered in the Marmara, Aegean, and Central Anatolian regions, Turkish converting and chemical synthesis industries are undergoing an aggressive transition toward radiation-curable systems.
Driven by the European Green Deal (EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism - CBAM) and tightening domestic environmental standards overseen by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change (Çevre, Şehircilik ve İklim Değişikliği Bakanlığı), Turkish formulators are rapidly replacing solvent-borne polyurethanes, alkyds, and nitrocellulose varnishes with 100% solids, zero-VOC UV-curable formulations.
Within this technical transition, polyester acrylate oligomers act as the workhorse chemistry. They provide an irreplaceable compromise of economic viability, fast radical polymerization, outstanding mechanical flexibility, and extraordinary pigment-wetting characteristics that neither standard bisphenol-A epoxy acrylates nor aliphatic polyurethane acrylates can independently achieve.
Across Turkey’s dedicated industrial zones (Organize Sanayi Bölgeleri - OSB), distinct substrate requirements, processing equipment, and physical durability expectations dictate raw material selection.
Core Focus: UV Offset Printing Inks, Varnishes, & Folding Cartons
Turkish printing houses in İkitelli, Tuzla, and Çorlu produce high-volume FMCG, confectionery, and cosmetic folding boxes. These operations employ multi-color sheet-fed offset presses (Heidelberg Speedmaster, Komori Lithrone, Koenig & Bauer Rapida). Tetrafunctional and hexafunctional polyester acrylates provide the required water-ink balance, low emulsification tendency, and rapid setting necessary to avert set-off on high-pile delivery stations.
Core Focus: Automotive Trims, Industrial Plastics & Furniture
The Bursa automotive corridor (Oyak Renault, Tofaş, and Tier-1 suppliers) and the furniture cluster in İnegöl demand specialized coating architectures. Highly branched and modified polyester acrylates are blended with urethane acrylates to coat polycarbonate (PC), ABS, and treated polypropylene components, imparting scratch resistance, chemical barrier against interior cleaner solvents, and exceptional flexibility during post-cure thermoforming.
Core Focus: Flexible Packaging, Woven PP & Industrial Labels
Gaziantep's massive non-woven and flexible packaging converters require UV flexo and screen inks tailored for polyolefin substrates. Modified low-shrinkage polyester acrylates ensure firm tape adhesion on corona-treated BOPP and polyethylene films, avoiding micro-cracking while resisting oil, spice, and moisture migration common in exported food-stuff packaging.
A rigorous engineering comparison illustrating why polyester acrylate oligomers serve as the benchmark resin in graphic arts, overprint coatings, and specialty coatings in Turkey.
| Performance Characteristic | Polyester Acrylates (Ever Ray) | Standard Bisphenol-A Epoxy Acrylates | Aliphatic Polyurethane Acrylates | Monomeric Reactive Diluents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pigment Wetting & Milling | Exceptional (Fast grind gauge, high gloss) | Moderate (High viscosity hinders dispersion) | Fair (Tends to yield pseudo-plastic drag) | Variable (Solvent action, poor binder) |
| Lithographic Water-Ink Balance | Optimal (Controlled interfacial tension) | Poor (High tack, prone to emulsification) | Moderate (Sensitive to fountain solutions) | Inapplicable (Not a structural binder) |
| Curing Speed (UV-LED / Hg) | Fast to Ultrafast (Functionality 2 to 6) | Very Fast (Hard, high crosslink) | Moderate to Fast | Slow to Moderate |
| Cured Film Flexibility | Balanced to High (Custom polyester diols) | Low (Brittle, high shrinkage stress) | Exceptional (High elongation) | Subordinate to crosslink density |
| Volumetric Shrinkage | Low to Moderate (< 6.5%) | Moderate to High (8.0% - 12.0%) | Low (< 4.0%) | Very High (Up to 15.0% - 20.0%) |
| Cost-to-Performance Ratio | Highly Cost-Effective for Turkey Formulators | Economical but chemically rigid | Premium (High raw material costs) | Additive-level economic profile |
In the lithographic offset printing process, the fountain solution (water, alcohol substitute, buffers) comes in direct microscopic shear contact with the formulated ink. If the oligomer has unchecked hydrophilicity, excessive water absorption creates ink breakdown, wash-marks, and dot-gain blowouts. Conversely, extreme hydrophobicity prevents uniform emulsification (typically required at 15–25% water-in-ink volume). Our specialized grades such as 5403-3F and 5403DF are synthesized with specific dicarboxylic and polyol ratios that lock this equilibrium across 8-hour continuous shifts.
Many Turkish packaging printers are modernizing their dryer arches with energy-efficient LED modules (385nm and 395nm wavelengths). Because LED emitters lack short-wave UVC (254nm), surface cure suffers from acute atmospheric oxygen inhibition. Ever Ray's hyperbranched and amine-modified polyester acrylates exhibit enhanced radical termination resistance, ensuring a completely tack-free top surface at energy doses under 40 mJ/cm², without demanding nitrogen inerting boxes.
How our vertically integrated synthetic capacity in South China guarantees uninterrupted supply, pricing stability, and batch repeatability for Turkish chemical distributors and end-users.
Our 40,000 m² production base in Yunfu, Guangdong sits at the epicentre of China's basic petrochemical belt. We procure glacial acrylic acid (GAA), phthalic anhydride, neopentyl glycol (NPG), and trimethylolpropane (TMP) directly from first-tier refiners. This upstream integration shields Turkish partners from sharp price volatility caused by localized European feedstock crunches.
Ever Ray manages weekly container shipments departing from Nansha and Shenzhen directly servicing vital Turkish ports: Port of Ambarlı (Kumport/Marport in Istanbul), Port of Mersin (MIP), Port of Gemlik (Bursa gateway), and Port of Aliağa (Izmir). We maintain optimized export packing (200kg steel drums and 1000kg IBC totes) engineered to resist thermal degradation in Mediterranean crossings.
Printing inks and delicate wood coatings cannot tolerate fluctuating acid values or erratic molecular weight curves. Our DCS-controlled esterification and acrylation reactors guarantee acid values consistently ≤ 2.0 mg KOH/g, water content ≤ 0.1%, and narrow polydispersity indexes (PDI), eliminating formulation recalibrations at your laboratory bench in Turkey.
Our export team coordinates direct CIF deliveries to Ambarlı, Mersin, or Izmir, alongside complete Certificate of Analysis (CoA), SDS in Turkish, and bench sample kits (1kg/5kg).
Operating in full alignment with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change ensures zero customs bottlenecks at Turkish ports of entry.
Turkish regulation KKDIK requires the full registration of chemical substances manufactured in or imported into Turkey above 1 metric ton per year. Ever Ray supports Turkish customers through dedicated Only Representative (OR) structures and pre-registration data sharing. We verify monomer precursors, ensuring full legal clarity for your downstream supply chain in Turkey.
With Turkey serving as a massive packaging hub for global food brands, regulatory adherence to packaging migration is critical. Ever Ray's low-migration grades, such as UV Resin 5017, are engineered to comply with strict global frameworks:
Anticipating the technological shifts transforming Turkish converting lines over the next decade.
Turkish luxury furniture in İnegöl and automotive interior designers in Bursa are aggressively deploying 172nm vacuum excimer lasers to achieve dead-matte (< 3 gloss units at 60°), anti-fingerprint, and velvety soft-touch surfaces without silica matting agents. Grade 53036 is specifically engineered to undergo micro-folding under excimer exposure, providing extraordinary tactile feel without sacrificing solvent resistance.
To help Turkish industrial exporters satisfy European Scope 3 carbon mandates under the EU CBAM, Ever Ray's synthesis laboratory incorporates bio-succinic acid, itaconic acid, and dimer fatty acid diols into polyester chains. These next-generation acrylates offer renewable carbon contents ranging from 30% to 55%, maintaining the mechanical performance of fossil-derived oligomers.
To eliminate hazardous reactive diluents (such as standard HDDA or TPGDA) that cause skin sensitization in pressrooms, our R&D department synthesizes self-diluting, hyperbranched polyester acrylates like 5338. With bulk viscosities under 800 mPa.s at 25°C, formulators can develop solventless, monomer-free coatings that improve workplace occupational hygiene.
