ELVAX™ 4260 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer
Supplied byDow- Last Updated on Aug 1, 2024
ELVAX™ 4260 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer by Dow is a high molecular weight ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and acid terpolymer for hot melt systems. It contains butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) antioxidant as a thermal stabilizer.
- It provides superior hot tack, optimum barrier properties, improved grease resistance and adhesion to polar, nonporous substrates.
- It is suitable for processing by injection molding, compounding, sheet & shape extrusion, structural foam molding, blow molding and wire coating.
- It can also be processed using conventional rubber processing techniques such as Banbury, two-roll milling and compression molding.
- It is recommended for adhesives, sealants, wax blends and industrial applications.
- ELVAX™ 4260 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer complies with TSCA, EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS), EU Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE), EN 71-3, FDA 21 CFR 175.1330(a) and conforms to CONEG, EU 94/62/EC.
