ELVALOY™ AC 3117 Acrylate Copolymer by Dow is an ethylene and butyl acrylate copolymer. It is suitable for processing by coextrusion, cast- and blown film extrusion. It provides compatibility with PE recycling streams, polar and non-polar resins.
- It offers higher thermal stability at similar comonomer content and non-corrosive degradation products versus EVA.
- It is recommended for plastic compounding, consumer packaging, industrial films and laminates.
- ELVALOY™ AC 3117 Acrylate Copolymer complies with TSCA, EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS), EU Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE), EN 71-3, FDA 21 CFR 175.105 and conforms to CONEG, EU 94/62/EC.
