REXtac® APAO 2585 has applications in the manufacturing of hot melt adhesives and sealant systems.

REXtac® APAO 2304 by REXtac is polyolefin based on copolymers of medium ethylene and propylene. It provides inherent moisture resistance, chemical resistance, inherent tackiness etc. It is resistant to acids, alkalis and other chemicals making it suitable for environments where the adhesive and sealant systems are exposed to such conditions. It is compatible with solvents, tackifiers, waxes, styrene block copolymers which make it highly sought after resin for adhesive manufacturing. REXtac® APAO 2304 has applications in the manufacturing of hot melt adhesives and sealant systems.

Riblene® MR 30 by Versalis (Eni Group) is a low-density polyethylene. Used in gaskets, seals for stoppers, and seals for alimentary use. Riblene® MR 30 offers perfect balance of processability, mechanical properties, performance and price.

Bynel™ 4105 by Dow is anhydride-modified linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin. It has temperature resistance, clarity and toughness. Its physical properties are typical of linear low-density polyethylene resins with similar density and melt index values. Offers improved thermal resistance over that of ethylene vinyl acetate-based adhesive resins in coextruded PE/barrier structures. It is most often used to adhere to EVOH, polyamide, PE and ethylene copolymers. It can be used in coextrusion processes including blown film, cast film/sheet, blow molding, sheet and tubing, melt and solid phase thermoforming and in applications such as film where LLDPE is the heat seal layer, boil-in-bag structures, bag-in-box films and blow molded containers in which drop strength is important. Bynel™ 4105 is suitable for food contact applications according to FDA.

Bynel™ 4157 by Dow is anhydride-modified linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin. It has temperature resistance, clarity and toughness.
