The value proposition of Elvaloy™ AC is universal compatibility with most polymers for use as modifier and in adhesive applications. Elvaloy™ AC is the best choice when you are looking for properties like softness, flexibility, polarity and impact resistance.
General info
Elvaloy™ AC is random copolymer of ethylene and various acrylate monomers which ensure specific properties:
- EMA for higher thermal stability
- EEA for less sticking to metal surfaces
- EBA for low temperature flexibility
Unique features of Elvaloy™ AC are:
- Good compatibility with both polar and non-polar polymers (PA, PET, PBT, PC, ABS, PP, PE, PVC)
- Higher melting temperature (avoid sticking in compounding feed)
- Superior thermal stability (vs. EVA)
- Higher melt strength
- Low temperature flexibility of EBA
- Oil resistance
- HF weldable(for > 9wt% comonomer level)
- Printable - high surface energy
