EPOLENE® C-16P

Generic Family: Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polyethylene • Supplied by: Westlake Chemicals
EPOLENE® C-16P is a branched low-density polyethylene modified with maleic anhydride. It is useful as a base polymer for adhesives and coatings, color concentrate dispersions, and applications requiring compatibility with polyamide. Coatings produced with EPOLENE® C-16P polymer exhibit high gloss, low moisture vapor transmission rates, grease resistance, and good heat-seal ability. In hot melt adhesives, the maleic anhydride modification allows for improved adhesion, greater filler tolerance, and broader adhesive capabilities.

Attributes:
  • Powdered Product Form
  • Enhances paraffin wax coating properties like gloss, grease resistance, and MVTR
  • Excellent thermal stability
  • Maleic anhydride grafted PE provides functionality/adhesion to substrate

Applications:
  • Automotive carpet backing
  • Compounding
  • Hot melt adhesives
  • Wax modification
