Lucofin® 1400HN Europe
Lucofin®1400HN is a polar copolymer with low crystallinity consisting of ethylene and n-butyl acrylate. Due to its chemical structure Lucofin®1400HN is softer and more flexible than ethylene homopolymers with comparable density. Lucofin®1400HN is supplied as non-colored granules. Lucofin®1400HN is used as component in multilayer film applications or as a polymer modifier to improve low temperature crack resistance, stress crack resistance ESCR1,weldability, and processability. Product advantages - easy processingwith standard processing equipment flexibility - high impact strength at lowtemperatures (- 40°C) - thermal stability (no corrosive by-products) - goodmechanical properties - high temperature resistance - good compatibility to other polymers and high filler acceptance - environmentally friendly Applications Lucofin®1400HN is used primarily for extrusion applications. Products are films for the construction and agricultural industries, FFS2 bags, and for food packaging applications. Moreover, Lucofin®1400HN is ideally suited as base resin for compounding or as impact modifier for stiff polymers. Compounds based on Lucofin®1400HN can be used for profile and cable extrusion purposes and for the production of sealing membranes. Furthermore, it can be used for cross-linked closed cell foams.

Lucofin® 1492M HG Europe
Lucofin® 1492M HG is a chemically modified polyethylene, i.e. EBA grafted with maleic anhydride (MA). Lucofin 1492M HG exhibits boosted levels of polarity due to the MAH grafting in comparison to the base EBA copolymer. Thus, it is excellently suited for applications that require increased polarity levels. Product advantages - Simplified processing when used on standard processing equipment - Improved adhesion to various materials - Good compatibilty to many additives - Good filler acceptance - environmentally friendly Applications Lucofin 1492 HG maleic anhydride modified EBA offers excellent adhesion to polar materials. It should be considered to be as is or in combination with Lucofin 1400HN or Lucofin 1400MN to - enable high filler loading in HFFR (Halogen Free Flame Retardand) compounds e.g. ATH (Aluminum trihydrate) or MDH (Magnesium dehydrate) - flexibilized and toughen (impact modification) otherwise brittle plastic materials (PA6, PA6.6, PBT, PET) including scrap/recycled materials - modify melt viscosity and therefore improve processability for e.g. PA - enable dissimilar polymer compatibility e.g. PA6/PE or PE/PS - improve bonding and strength in -- wood- plastic composit (WPC) materials -- polymer/fiber blends e/g/ glass fibers
