Elvaloy® AC acrylate copolymers can be processed easily on conventional equipment used by packaging film converters, and offer melt strength and thermal stability advantages versus other similar copolymers. This enables their use for improved soft touch or drape, without sacrificing service temperatures or processing ease.
These resins are highly compatible with LDPE and easily bond to various polar and nonpolar substrates, enabling use in blends for controlled peel/seal adhesion, for example.
Elvaloy® AC resins also can be used to boost the physical performance of other materials, such as adding low temperature toughness to CPET trays or improving the formability or handling characteristics of films or sheet materials.
APPLICATIONS
