Improved Strength and Adhesion: New EVA Material Developments for Thermal Lamination and Flexible Packaging Applications

Cutting-edge EVA for Extrusion Coating

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymers are used in a variety of thermal laminations and flexible packaging applications. Review this whitepaper for detailed information on a new EVA copolymer designed to highly adhere to substrates in the extrusion coating process.

The central requirement of the extrusion coating process is that the polymer and the substrate must stick together. Producing a bond between these two layers can be very difficult. This whitepaper describes a new developmental EVA designed to bond strongly with various substrates during extrusion coating, comparing it with a conventional EVA that is commonly used in extrusion coating. Discover detailed information about the fabrication method, test method, data analysis and the trial results.
