Westlake Tymax® GT7001 Anhydride Modified LDPE
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acrylic (PMMA); Acrylic, Extruded
Material Notes:	TYMAX® GT7001 is an anhydride modified acrylate copolymer designed for extrusion coating and cast film tie layers. This resin is designed to function as a coextruded tie layer in multilayer applications, and is designed to tie polyethylene or polyester to resins that typically have poor bonding characteristics such as polyamide and EVOH. This polymer can also be used as a compatibilizer for compounding dissimilar resins. This product has some 21 CFR clearances. Application/Uses: Tie-layers; Flexible Packaging; Compounding; Compatibilizer. Samples tested at 23°C and 50% RH. Information provided by Westlake Chemical Corporation.
