Product Description
DuPont™ Appeel 20D855 is a modified ethylene acrylate resin designed to function as a sealing layer for lidding applications. It is most often suggested to provide peelable seals over a broad temperature range to a number of container materials including PET, PVC, PS and PP. Appeel 20D855 is available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion and coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins.
