Description

LOTADER® 5500 is a random ethylene – ethyl acrylate – maleic anhydride terpolymer.

Due to its properties, reactivity, fluidity and compatibility with tackifying resins and waxes, LOTADER® 5500 is suitable as additive for hot melt adhesive formulations and as coupling agent in mineral filled compounds.

Processing

Heat stability of acrylate comonomers allows processing temperatures as high as for polyamides, which is the main material using LOTADER® 5500 as impact modifier. However, to minimize the generation of gels, it is recommended to purge the equipment with LDPE after a run is completed.

LOTADER® 5500 is not corrosive.

Storage, Handling & Safety

LOTADER® 5500 is usually packed in waterproof bags or rigid containers with waterproof liner.
It should be stored in a ventilated area, away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. Improper storage conditions may cause degradation and could have consequences on physical properties of the product.
It is recommended to reseal the bag or the liner after use to protect LOTADER® 5500 against moisture.
