Description

Ethylene/Ethyl Acrylate Copolymer is a versatile thermoplastic elastomer produced by the copolymerization of ethylene and ethyl acrylate monomers. This material is valued for its excellent flexibility, low-temperature toughness, and inherent resistance to environmental stress cracking, making it a superior alternative to plasticized PVC or other flexible polymers. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the packaging, automotive, wire & cable, and polymer modification industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Flexible Packaging Films: Used as a sealant or modifier layer to improve low-temperature impact strength, clarity, and seal performance in food and industrial packaging.
• Wire & Cable Insulation/Jacketing: Imparts excellent flexibility, environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), and weatherability for insulation and protective sheathing.
• Polymer Modification & Impact Improvement: Acts as a permanent, non-migrating impact modifier and compatibilizer for polyolefins (PP, HDPE) and engineering plastics.
• Automotive Components: Utilized in interior trim, seals, gaskets, and under-hood parts requiring consistent flexibility across a wide temperature range.
• Adhesives, Sealants, and Coatings: Serves as a base polymer for hot-melt adhesives and coatings, providing good adhesion to various substrates and flexibility.
• Footwear and Consumer Goods: Used in soles, grips, and flexible components where resilience and durability are key.

Quality Control

Our Ethylene/Ethyl Acrylate Copolymer is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous internal specifications to ensure consistent performance in melt flow, ethyl acrylate content, density, and mechanical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and open flames. For long-term storage, keep under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) to prevent oxidation.
