LOTADER® 9304T

LOTADER® 9304T is a random ethylene-vinyl acetate-maleic anhydride terpolymer (EVA-MAH). As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® 9304T is compatible with PE in all proportions and with most ethylene copolymers. Vinyl acetate brings softness, flexibility, and polarity while maleic anhydride brings reactivity, leading to versatile adhesive properties to polar and non-polar substrates. As a result of high-pressure polymerization in a tubular reactor, LOTADER® 9304T also exhibits high transparency (low haze). LOTADER® 9304T is compatible with most tackifying resins and waxes and can be used in hot melt adhesives formulations. LOTADER® 9304T is also suitable to produce thermo-adhesive films for solid substrates like PA, PET and PU films, aluminum foils, fiber mats, foams. LOTADER® 9304T can also be used as a tie layer between polyethylene and polyamide in blown film co-extrusion.
