EMA

Ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer

EMA has the highest thermal stability of the acrylate copolymers, suiting extrusion coating and high-temperature processing. It offers softness, polar compatibility and good adhesion. It is used as an impact modifier in polyolefins and as a tie layer in multilayer film.

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for EMA are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site.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.
