INEOS LDPE M24N430 Ineos Polyolefins Ethylene Methacrylic Acid

Product Description

LDPE: Ethylene-MethAcrylic-Acid copolymer (EMAA) for extrusion coating

Applications:
M24N430 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. Main extrusion coating application fields include aluminium foil and metallised film both for industrial use, food and flexible packaging.

Benefits and Features:
M24N430 is an additive free ethylene-methacrylic 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

We recommend that you consult your INEOS technical representative for further advice on the use of M24N430.

Extrusion Notes
Coating weights as low as 7 g/m2 can be obtained at extrusion rates normally used for common substrates. Identical extrusion and processing parameters should be used as for conventional LDPE of identical melt flow rate and density. When extruding M24N430 precautions should be taken to prevent equipment corrosion. The resin should not be left standing in the extruder for extended periods. After extrusion of M24N430, the extruder should be purged with standard LDPE resin.
