OPTEMA®TC-110 Ethylene Methyl Acrylate Copolymer for Extrusion Coating and Blown Film

Description
OPTEMA TC-110 is an ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer which can be used as a heat seal layer in packaging structures produced by either cast co extrusion or extrusion coating. It can also be used as an extrusion laminate to bond various substrates and has excellent adhesion to various substrates including polyethylene, paper, oriented polypropylene, PVDC, and polycarbonate. It can be used as a mono layer film with addition of additives to allow handling.
