| Amorphous Polyolefins | ||||||||||||
| Eastoflex amorphous polyolefins (APOs) are characterized by consistent quality, low odor, good heat stability, low color, and broad compatibility with numerous elastomers, polymers, and tackifying resins.
These amorphous polyolefins are used as base polymers in hot-melt adhesives, paper laminating, sealants, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. They are especially useful as elastomer extenders in sealants. They can also be used as waterproofing compounds for wire and cable-flooding applications and as bitumen modifiers in single-ply roofing membranes. Eastoflex APOs can be processed with standard extrusion or roll-coating equipment, drum-melting units, and virtually all hot-melt adhesive application equipment. In sealants, Eastoflex APOs can be used as elastomer extenders and as viscosity and flow modifiers. This allows the formulator to reduce raw material costs, as well as mixing time and energy, while improving water resistance and peel adhesion. In hot-melt adhesives, Eastoflex APOs offer excellent adhesion to polyolefin and metallic substrates. The wide viscosity range and low application temperatures of Eastoflex APOs make them ideally suited for disposable goods assembly involving thin thermoplastic films and nonwovens. |
