Dow Elvax® 3175 Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Resin for Coextrusion
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Ethylene Vinyl Acetate; Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (EVA), Extrusion/Coating Grade

Material Notes: 28 wt% Vinyl Acetate.

Elvax® 3175 is an extrudable ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins.

Additives: Antioxidant.

Application Elvax® 3175 is designed to provide a low temperature heat seal to itself or many other materials commonly used in flexible packaging applications. Elvax® 3175 is also available in a "Low Gel" version (Elvax® 3175LG) for applications requiring superior film quality. The melt properties of this resin allow it to be processed on blown or cast coextrusion film equipment over a wide range of line speeds and film thicknesses. It can be coextruded with a variety of other polymers. Elvax® 3175 is typically used as a low temperature seal layer in coextruded film.
