Product Description
LDPE extrusion coating product

Applications:
M23N430 is a speciality extrusion coating resin with improved adhesion characteristics. With this grade higher line speeds or lower coating weights are possible compared to standard LDPE grades and to M21N430. Main extrusion coating application fields include aluminium foil and metallised film both for industrial use, food and flexible packaging.

Benefits and Features:
M23N430 is an additive free ethylene-methylacrylic acid copolymer (EMMA) with a medium MAA content. Its special polymer structure gives the following properties:
  • Adhesive properties superior to standard LDPE and to low acid copolymer extrusion coating grades especially with aluminium foil and metallised film at high line speeds or low coating weights
  • Good processability in mono- and coextrusion with comparable neck in and draw down to LDPE grades
  • Low fumes during extrusion
  • Good organoleptical properties
  • Good heat sealing properties enhanced by the presence of comonomer
  • High purity and very low gel level
