Westlake Epolene® C-16P Coating Grade - Branched Medium Molecular Weight Polyethylene Polymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE)
Material Notes:	Description: Epolene C-16P is a branched low density polyethylene powder modified with maleic anhydride. It is useful as a base polymer for adhesives and coatings, color concentrate dispersions, and applications requiring compatibility with polyamide. Coatings produced with Epolene C-16P exhibit high gloss, low moisture vapor transmission rates, grease resistance, and good heat-seal ability. In hot melt adhesives, the maleic anhydride modification allows for improved adhesion, greater filler tolerance, broader capabilities, and improved aging properties. Key Attributes: Enhances paraffin wax coating properties like gloss, grease resistance, and MVTR Excellent thermal stability Maleic anhydride grafted PE provides functionality Medium molecular weight Useful in color concentrates Application/Uses: Automotive Building and Construction Hot Melt Adhesives Packaging Solvent borne Adhesives Wax Modification Information provided by Westlake Chemical
