LOTADER® 3430

LOTADER® 3430 is a random ethylene-methyl acrylate-maleic anhydride terpolymer. LOTADER® 3430 is a versatile adhesive for extrusion coating or lamination, designed as: Concentrate to be used in dry blend with LDPE. LOTADER® 3430 improves adhesion of LDPE on aluminium foils, metallized or primerized films. Ready for use resin to be used pure. LOTADER® 3430 gives excellent adhesion on substrates likes aluminum foil, metallized plastics, paper, board, PE and some plastic films like BOPP. Coextrusion tie layer for PE/PA in extrusion coating process. LOTADER® 3430 can also be used as a coupling agent for mineral filled compounds such as halogen free flame retardant wires and cables, a compatibiliser for polyamide/polyolefin blends and a modifier for polyamides.
