Optema TC 120 is an ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer intended for extrusion coating, coextrusion coating and extrusion lamination where good interlayer adhesion between polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, PVdC or other substrates is required. It offers excellent balance of adhesion onto the substrates and interlayer adhesion with coextruded LDPE and EVA's. It is an excellent heat seal layer in coextrusion and in extrusion coating but additional additives or process modifications may be required to prevent chill roll sticking. Processing Conditions: Excellent results are obtained in extrusion coating at 260°C to 300°C (500°F - 572°F) temperature range. Processing temperatures above 320°C (608°F) are not recommended. Optema EMA can be processed on conventional extrusion equipment designed for extrusion coating LDPE. Their broad thermal stability range offers wide processing conditions window. Water cooling of extruder throat is preferred to avoid hopper bridging. Matte chill roll finishing is recommended for top coating.
