Orevac® 18750

OREVAC® 18750 is a coextrusion coating adhesive based on a maleic anhydride modified polypropylene resin. It is available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion and coextrusion equipment designed to process polyolefin.

Applications
OREVAC® 18750 is a tie resin to be used in extrusion coating and extrusion lamination technologies. It has been designed to develop adhesion in these processes onto substrates like aluminum foil (*), paper or PP films and in coextrusion with resins like PP and PA. OREVAC® 18750 exhibits excellent processing properties, particularly regarding drawability, neck-in and melt stability. In addition to adhesive properties, the special formulation of OREVAC® 18750 allows to design aluminum lids for PP or PP coated cups and containers with controlled opening forces.

(*) Adhesion performance to aluminum foil is strongly dependant on thermal conditions in the laminator. Standard conditions of coating onto cold aluminum foil require using a specific post heating treatment in which the OREVAC layer must be molten again.
