EVATANE® 24-03
Ethylene – Vinyl Acetate (VA) copolymer with high VA content
Description
EVATANE® 24-03 is a random copolymer of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate made by high-pressure
radicalar polymerization process.
Applications
The high Vinyl Acetate content of EVATANE® 24-03 brings softness, flexibility and polarity.
EVATANE® 24-03 delivers high cohesive strength with most fillers and can be used to produce
masterbatches or HFFR compounds, and can be used as an additive for bitumen modification.
EVATANE® 24-03 is also suitable for film (cast or blown) extrusion, and exhibits good adhesion onto
PE, PS and polyesters.
