Product Description
Appeel® 20D875 is a modified ethylene acrylate resin designed to function as a sealing layer for lidding applications. It is most often suggested to provide strong peelable seals over a broad temperature range to a number of container materials including PP, PS, PET and PVC. Appeel® 20D875 is available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion and coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins.
