Elvax 4310 Ethylene-vinyl acetate/acid terpolymer DuPont Ethylene co-terpolymers - solid (EVA, EMA) >> Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, EVA Coatings >> Solventborne 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. Acid Terpolymers offer premium performance in many uses. In wax-extended systems, these unique interpolymers of ethylene, vinyl acetate, and an organic acid offer the advantages of superior oil and grease resistance, greater hot tack, and improved adhesion to polar, nonporous substrates. Blends of the acid terpolymers with Elvax(R) copolymer resins provide intermediate performance levels. All grades contain 190-910 ppm butylated hydroxy toluene. Low molecular weight resin designed to provide improved grease resistance and adhesion in low-viscosity systems. Permits maximum Elvax(R) content at a given viscosity in solvent or hot melt systems. Low molecular weight ethylene-vinyl acetate/acid terpolymer 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, superior oil resistance and great hot tack. Offers improved grease resistance and adhesion in low-viscosity systems. Alloxw maximum use level at a given viscosity in solvent or hot melt systems.
