Ionomer Resins - A polymer
which has ethylene as its major component, but containing
both covalent and ionic bonds. The polymer exhibits
very strong interaction ionic forces. The anions hang
from the hydrocarbon chain and the reactions are metallic
- sodium, potassium, magnesium. These resins have many
of the same features as polyethylene plus high transparency,
tenacity, resilience, and increased resistance to oils,
greases and solvents. Fabrication is carried out as
with polyethylene.
