Elvax 410 Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer DuPont Ethylene co-terpolymers - solid (EVA, EMA) >> Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, EVA Soluble in organic solvents Elvax(R) is the DuPont registered trademark for a broad line of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resins for use in adhesives, sealants, and coatings. Elvax(R) blended with a petroleum wax and resin tackifier is the basis of many hot melt adhesives. In addition, Elvax(R) resins impart plastic-like properties that enable wax to compete effectively with high-quality polymeric coatings. In summary, Elvax(R) resins are key ingredients in a variety of hot melt and solvent-applied systems. They are used as: Resin bases for flexible, heat-sealable, hot melt coatings with excellent water vapor and gas barrier properties. 400 Series Resins (18% VA) are relatively low-cost resins designed particularly for use as wax additives and in hot melt systems where surface gloss, hardness, and resistance to blocking are the chief requirements. They are also useful in heat-sealable label adhesives and hot melt adhesives for porous substrates. All grades contain 190-910 ppm butylated hydroxy toluene. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin. Contains butylated hydroxytoluene. Used as a resin base for flexible, heat-sealable, hot melt coatings. Provides very good water vapor and gas barrier properties, toughness, flexibility, and adhesion. Gives surface gloss, hardness and resistance to blocking.
