Westlake Epolene® C-15 Coating Grade - Highly Branched Medium Molecular Weight Polyethylene Polymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE)
Material Notes:	Product Description: Epolene C-15 is a branched low density polyethylene homopolymer 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-15 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 Automotive Building and Construction Hot Melt Adhesive Packaging Solvent borne Adhesives Wax Modification
