Dow Nucrel® 403 Ethylene-Methacrylic Acid Copolymer Resin for Blown and Cast Film
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Ethylene Methyl Acrylate; Ethylene-Methyl Acrylate Copolymer, Film Grade
Material Notes:	4 wt% Methacrylic Acid. Nucrel® 0403 is an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer resin available for use in blown and cast film extrusion and coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins. Features/Benefits: Adhesion to metallized film. Excellent adhesion to PE. Better hot tack, sealability through contamination and heat seal strength compared to PE. Excellent optical properties. Typical Applications: Tie layer in Surlyn®/TIE/PE type structures. Coextrusion with Nucrel® and PE in film structures. Thermal lamination to metal surfaces. Information provided by DuPont Packaging Polymers. This former DuPont product line is now a Dow product line.
