Westlake Epolene® C-13P Coating Grade - Branched Medium Molecular Weight Polyethylene Polymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE)
Material Notes:	Description: Epolene C-13P is a branched low density polyethylene homopolymer powder with low color and medium molecular weight. It is useful as a base polymer for adhesives and coatings, color concentrate dispersions, and to provide lubricity in rubber compounding. Coatings produced with Epolene C-13P exhibit high gloss, low moisture vapor transmission rates, grease resistance, and good heat seal ability. Key Attributes: Enhances paraffin wax coating properties like gloss, grease resistance, and MVTR Excellent thermal stability Low color Medium molecular weight Useful in color concentrates Application/Uses: Automotive refinish Building and Construction Hot Melt Adhesives Inks Packaging Solvent borne Adhesives Wax Modification Information provided by Westlake Chemical
