Subcategory: Ethylene Methyl Acrylate; Thermoplastic
Key Words: Eastman EMAC
Material Notes: 20% Methyl Acrylate Content. Characteristics: FDA Clearance for Packaging of Most Foods, Including Aseptic Packaging; Less Crystalline and Softer than Polyethylene; Excellent Heat Stability Allows Processing Temperature Range of 280-600°F; Non-corrosive at all Temperature Ranges; No FDA Thickness Limitations; Contains a High Level of Slip and Antiblock Additives Applications:Film: Excellent Heat Seal Response at Low Temperatures, Making it a Good Candidate for the Heat Seal Layer in Various Coextrusion Constructions; Coatings & Laminations: Higher Neck-In but Similar Drawdown vs. Polyethylene, Excellent Heat Seal Response at Low Seal Temperatures, Processing Temperature Range - 580-600°F, Can be Drawn as Low as 4 lbs. per ream, Gas Barrier and Grease Resistance are Slightly Less than those of LDPE; Coextrusion: Excellent Coextrusion Tie Layer for LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, EVA, EEA, Ionomer, PET, PC, PVDC and rigid PVC; Injection Molding: Processing Temperature 360-600°F, Less Mold Shrinkage than LDPE, Produces Very Tough, Stress Crack Resistant Parts Data provided by Chevron Chemical. Chevron sold its EMAC® and EBAC® product lines to Eastman Chemical in 1999.
