Elvax 40L-03

Despre acest produs

Elvax 40L-03 is an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin for use in industrial applications.

The melt index is consistent because resin molecular weight distribution is controlled to within a relatively narrow range. The molecular weight is high for this family of copolymers, so finished products will be relatively resistant to mechanical damage and elevated temperatures.

Compared with other ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, Elvax 40L-03 contains extremely low amounts of gel, or high-molecular-weight polymer, that can cause undesirable characteristics in finished products.

Because Elvax 40L-03 is somewhat crystalline, it is free flowing and does not mass during handling.

• Elvax40L-03 is especially well suited for use in jacketing compounds for automotive ignition and low-smoke cables, and as strippable semiconductive shields for power cables.

• In these applications, the relatively narrow molecular weight distribution and the low gel properties help ensure that compounds will be consistent and finished products will be smooth-surfaced. Smooth, glossy surfaces are desirable because they can imply quality, while uniformity can enhance long-term performance.

• Power cable semiconductive shields made with Elvax40L-03 also benefit from the consistency of their compounds and low gel content. Any inconsistency in shields can lead to cable failure.
