Description

Material Notes:
EVATANE® 40-55 is a random copolymer of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate made by high-pressure radicalar polymerisation process. It’s stabilized with antioxidants and contains slip and antiblock additives. The High Vinyl Acetate content of EVATANE® 40-55 brings softness, flexibility, polarity and high solubility. EVATANE® 40-55 is compatible with tackifying resins and waxes. Combined with a high fluidity, it’s a useful product for hot melt adhesives formulation. It can be compounded with high levels of filler for HFFR cable applications. EVATANE® 40-55 is also a material of choice for solvent base adhesives and inks formulation.Information provided by Arkema Group
