LOTADER® 9318T

LOTADER® 9318T is a random ethylene-vinyl acetate-maleic anhydride terpolymer (EVA- MAH). As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® 9318T 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 tubular reactor, LOTADER® 9318T also exhibits high transparency (low haze). LOTADER® 9318T can be used to produce thermo-adhesive films for solid substrates like PA, PET and PU films, aluminium foils, fiber mats, foams. LOTADER® 9318T is also suitable as a tie layer between polyethylene and polyamide in blown film, cast film or in tubes co-extrusion. It can be used as a coupling agent in cables compounds formulations.
