Epolene® C-16P is a highly branched, medium molecular weight, maleic anhydride modified, low density polyethylene (LDPE) wax powder. It is most commonly used in heat seal coatings for packaging applications where it produces a barrier coating that can be heat sealed to foils, polyolefin films, and paper. Epolene® C-16P is also used as a base polymer in highly filled masterbatch. The added functionality allows for improved dispersion and wetting of additives in color concentrates. In addition, Epolene® C-16P can be blended with other polymers used in hot melt adhesive formulations to improve hot tack and adhesion to smooth surfaces.
