Processing Information
  • As a result of high-pressure polymerization in autoclave reactor, LOTADER® 4403 molecular structure and rheology are remarkably suitable for all kinds of extrusion, including extrusion coating/lamination: low neck-in, excellent melt stability and drawability.
  • Standard polyolefin extrusion equipment can be used for LOTADER® 4403, which has the same processability as LDPE and the same heat stability given by acrylate comonomers. Recommended temperature range is from 270°C up to 320 – 330°C. It is recommended to purge the equipment with LDPE after a run is completed before shutting down.
Product Applications

LOTADER® 4403 is a versatile adhesive resin for extrusion lamination/coating, not intended to be diluted. LOTADER® 4403 provides excellent adhesion to various substrates in extrusion lamination process. It bonds to PE, paper, board, metallized films and corona treated PE, OPP, CPP and OPA films.

Typical applications: 

  • Adhesive for extrusion coating lamination: Film / Tie / Foil.
  • Adhesive for extrusion coating of LDPE / Tie / PA / Tie onto paper or films.
