LOTADER® 18603T

LOTADER® 18603T is a reactive ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, it has been designed to coextrusion application with polyethylene, ethylene copolymers, polyamides, EVOH, PET and PS. It can also be used as a coupling agents for HFFR compounds as well as impact modifiers for polyamides. LOTADER® 18603T is compatible with most tackifying resins and waxes and can be used in hot melt adhesives formulations. LOTADER® 18603T is also suitable to produce thermo-adhesive films for solid substrates like PA, PET and PU films, aluminum, foils.
