Description

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 & PU films, aluminum 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.

Processing

LOTADER® 9318T can be processed on most conventional equipment used for thermoplastics. It is recommended to avoid overheating above 230°C and to purge the equipment after a run is completed.

Storage, Handling & Safety

LOTADER® 9318T 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.
