EPOLENE® C-18

Generic Family: Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polyethylene • Supplied by: Westlake Chemicals
EPOLENE ® C-18 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-18 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, broader capabilities, and improved aging properties.

Attributes:
  • Enhances paraffin wax coating properties like gloss, grease resistance, and MVTR
  • Excellent thermal stability
  • Maleic anhydride grafted PE provides functionality/adhesion to substraites
  • Useful in color concentrates

Applications:
  • Automotive
  • Compounding
  • Hot Melt Adhesives
  • Packaging
  • Wax Modification
