VINNEX® 2526

VINNEX® 2526 by Wacker is a vinyl acetate resin. Acts as an impact modifier and processing aid. It eliminates the miscibility gap between PBS and PLA, making it possible to blend the two biopolyesters in any mixing ratio. It improves the elongation properties and tensile strength of PBS, opening up various packaging applications. Thermal and mechanical properties can be kept constant over time by reducing the post crystallization tendencies of PBS. Its haptic properties are similar to those of conventional LDPE films. It also improves the melt strength of PBS, enabling blown film, cast film, sheet extrusion and thermoforming as well as paper extrusion coating. VINNEX® 2526 is recommended use level is 5-20%. It can be used in food contact applications in accordance with EU regulations on food contact and the US Food and Drug administration (FDA, §175.105, §175.300, §176.170 and §176.180).
