Lucofin® 1494

Product description
Lucofin® 1494 is a chemically modified polyethylene, i.e. EBA grafted with maleic anhydride (MA).

Properties
Lucofin® 1494 can be used pure or as a component in mixtures applications where improved polarity is required.

Product advantages

• easy processing on standard processing equipment

• polarity and adhesion to various materials

• good compatibility and filler acceptance

• good mechanical properties

• environmentally sound

Applications
Due to the high content of grafted maleic anhydride this grade provides excellent adhesion to polyolefins, PE copolymers, ionomers, polyamides, EVOH, polyesters, polycarbonates and aluminum. This grade can be used in multilayer films/structures -possibly in blend with Lucofin 1400 HN or Lucofin 1400 MN- to act as a tie layer between dissimilar materials, e. g.:

• PE / Lucofin 1494 / PA

• PE / Lucofin 1494 / PET

• PE/ Lucofin 1494 / EVOH

Processing
Lucofin® 1494 is suited for conventional standard processing equipment, especially for cast film and extrusion coating lines. We recommend the following standard values: Extrusion approx. 160° - 270°C

Storage and handling
Lucofin® 1494 should be stored in dry conditions a temperature below 60 °C and protected from UV-light. Otherwise degradation may occur resulting in smell generation and colour changes.

Packaging
Granules in 25 kg bags, pallet standard = 1250 kg
