Arkema Evatane EVA
Low-flow EVA copolymer (VA 28%, MFI 5) delivering high cohesion and melt strength for film extrusion and structural hot melt.
Grade Summary
Evatane 28-05 combines 28% vinyl acetate with a low melt flow index of 5 g/10 min, giving the resin strong melt strength and high internal cohesion. This makes it a dependable choice for blown and cast film as well as hot melt adhesives that must hold load.
Typical uses include film extrusion, high-cohesion hot melt base, masterbatch carrier and halogen-free flame-retardant compounds.

Differentiated Module
Low MFI supports stable bubble and strong weld lines from feed to finished roll.
Resin is blended and metered into the extruder hopper.
High melt strength keeps the melt stable through the die.
Controlled cooling sets cohesion and clarity.
Finished film is wound as rolls for converting.
Processing
Practical guidance for converting Evatane 28-05.
Dry pellets before processing to avoid surface defects. Store in a dry area to preserve melt stability.
Low MFI needs higher torque; set barrel temperatures around the melt point with gradual ramp to avoid thermal degradation.
Suitable for blown and cast film. Adjust blow-up ratio and chill-roll temperature to balance strength and clarity.
Blend with tackifier and wax to tune open time and adhesion for structural bonding.
