Lucofin® 1400MN

Lucofin 1400 MN is a polar copolymer consisting of ethylene and butyl acrylate with low crystallinity. Due to its chemical structure Lucofin 1400 MN is softer and more flexible than ethylene homopolymeres with comparable density. Lucofin 1400 MN is supplied as uncoloured granules.

Lucofin 1400MN is used as a component in multi-layer film constructions or as polymer modifier to improve splitting resistance, environmental stress crack resistance ESCR, resistance to low temperatures, weldability, and processability.

Product advantages

• easy processing on standard processing equipment

• flexibility

• impact strength at low temperatures (- 40 °C)

• thermal stability of polymer (no corrosive by-products)

• good mechanical properties

• high utilization temperatures

• good compatibility and filler acceptance

• good organoleptics

• environmentally sound

Applications
Lucofin 1400MN is used primarily for injection applications, but is also suited for extrusion purposes. In the field of film extrusion it is used for films in the construction and agricultural industry, FFS bags, and also for food packaging applications. Moreover, Lucofin 1400MN is ideally suited as base resin for compounds or as an impact modifier for stiff polymers. Compounds based on Lucofin 1400MN can be used for profile and cable extrusion purposes and for the production of sealing membranes. Furthermore it can be used for x-linked closed cellfoams.
