Westlake EMAC® Plus SP1501 20% EMA Copolymer
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Ethylene Methyl Acrylate

Material Notes: Westlake EMAC� Plus SP1501 is a 20% EMA copolymer designed for extrusion coating, compounding, and blending where low viscosity, flexibility, and strength are important. SP1501 provides excellent elasticity and low temperature performance. This resin is capable of very high filler loadings. A higher peak melting temperature than comparable EMA grades makes it a more viable choice for building products that are subjected to 180�F testing. It has good adhesion to various substrates and is compatible with numerous resins. SP1501 is soft, flexible, and tough without plasticizers. Its applications include: extrusion coating, compounding, hot melt adhesives, compatibilizer, and concentrate base. This resin grade complies with 21 CFR 177.1340. EMAC� resins adhere to and are compatible with a wide range of materials including paper, polyolefins, oriented polyolefins, polyesters, ionomers, PVC, unplasticized PVC, and other polar polymers. They are made for use as a heat seal layer, adhesive layer, or modifier for cost/performance enhancement. They are soft, pliable, and tough at ambient and freezing temperatures and exhibit excellent ESCR. These polymers exhibit high solids fillability and compatibility with a wide range of polymers. This facilitates their uses as bases for all-purpose concentrates for addition to a wide spectrum of polymers. They process like LDPE.

Key Words: Excellent elasticity and low temperature performance.
