EBA

Ethylene butyl acrylate copolymer

EBA gives flexibility similar to EVA but with higher thermal stability and better low-temperature toughness. Its polar structure improves filler acceptance; halogen-free flame-retardant cable compounds can carry high loadings of metal hydroxide. It is also used in adhesives and extrusion coating.

Overview

EBA is the standard grade of the EBA family in the elastomers group. It is used in applications such as halogen-free fr cable compounds, impact modifier, hot-melt adhesives. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Halogen-free FR cable compounds
  • Impact modifier
  • Hot-melt adhesives
  • Extrusion coating and lamination

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for EBA are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
