Synthomer M30

• Rapidly dissolves in most organic solvents.
• Can be melt processed.
• Easily plasticized.
• Can be combined with other M Grades.
• Excellent substrate adhesion and film flexibility.
• Very high light stability.

Dissolving:

• M30 is soluble in many organic solvents such as esters, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, and lower alcohols. 
• M30 should be added carefully to the solvent system under sufficient agitation to ensure dispersion and suspension of the polymer beads.

Melt:

• M30 is thermoplastic and will gradually soften and flow with increasing temperature. At temperatures >120°C, the polymer can be mixed as received with EVA resins to formulate thermomoldable fabrics. Resins with a higher vinyl acetate content generally show better compatibility.
• M30 can also be used in the formulation of automotive sound damping foils by compounding with appropriate pigments and plasticizers. Heat activated coatings and adhesives can also be easily formulated.

Compatibility:

• M30 is compatible with other M Grade polymers and can be mixed in any proportion to modify either solution or dry film properties. M30 can be plasticized with many types of plasticizers to modify film properties.

Applications:

• Solvent-based adhesives including parquet flooring, solvent-based inks & coatings, thermomoldable fabrics, heat seal adhesives, and low-profile additive for polyester composites.

• M30 is a thermoplastic solid. To prevent sticking of the polymer beads, M30 should be stored in dry conditions, below +20°C (+68°F) out of direct sunlight.
• Pallets should not be stacked. Under these conditions, M30 has a storage life of at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
• M30 that has been stored for longer than 24 months should be tested before use.
