Repsol PRIMEVA® EVA and EBANTIX® EBA Copolymers
The PRIMEVA® EVA and EBANTIX® EBA Copolymers from Repsol have a broad range of melt indices as well as physical properties.
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and Ethylene Butyl Acrylate (EBA) are widely used functional polymers designed for a variety of industries. The PRIMEVA® EVA and EBANTIX® EBA Copolymers from Repsol have a broad range of melt indices as well as physical properties. Where your applications require softness, toughness, bondability to multiple substrates, adhesive bonding, lower processing temperatures or better cold temperature impact, look to these product lines to enhance your material properties.
HOT MELT ADHESIVES:
Hot melt adhesives are widely used in the graphic arts, book-binding, packaging, textile and furniture industries. PRIMEVA® EVA and EBANTIX® EBA Copolymers offer great adhesion, resistance to thermal dregradation, flexibility and low temperature tensile strength.
EBA vs. EVA PROPERTIES:
- Thermal Stability: EBA is more resistant to thermal degradation than EVA (EBA can be processed up t o 280 °C if required).
- Low Temperature Behavior: EBA performs better at lower temperatures due to its lower Tg (EBA: -50 °C, EVA: -30 °C).
- Water Absorption: EBA shows lower water absorption at comparable comonomer contents.
