Epolene® C-10 is a low density polyethylene polymer (LDPE) that was developed for use as base polymer in hot melt coatings for paper and packaging.
Epolene® C-10 is a highly branched, medium molecular weight LDPE wax that was developed for use as a base polymer in hot melt coatings and hot melt adhesives for paper and packaging applications. Coatings formulated with Epolene® C-10 exhibit exceptional gloss, grease resistance, low moisture vapor transmission, and excellent heat seal-ability. Epolene® C-10 is also used in lost wax investment casting to make ceramic molds. Additionally, the properties of Epolene® C-10 make it useful as a low-cost processing aid for rubber compounding and as a dispersing and processing aid in color concentrate masterbatches.
