Dow Nucrel® 960 Ethylene-Methacrylic Acid Copolymer Resin
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Ethylene Methyl Acrylate
Material Notes:	Nucrel® 599 is a tough, lightweight, easily processed ethylene copolymer resin. This resin is inherently flexible without the need for plasticizers. The resin can be pigmented, UV-stabilized for exterior applications and painted or plated for special decorative effects. Typical Applications: Heat sealable coating Carrier resin for color concentrates Metal coating Dispersions Glass coating Features: Good adhesion to metal and polar substrates Good flow characteristics for compounding applications May be processed into a dispersion through standard dispersion techniques Allows high pigment loadings for concentrates Information provided by DuPont. This former DuPont product line is now a Dow product line.
