The automotive and packaging industries are constantly seeking advanced materials that offer improved performance, durability, and processing efficiency. Maleic anhydride grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA-g-MAH) has emerged as a highly versatile additive that meets many of these demands, particularly in applications requiring enhanced adhesion and compatibility. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemical additives, we provide solutions that empower innovation in these key sectors.

EVA-g-MAH in the Automotive Sector

The automotive industry relies heavily on multi-material components to achieve lightweighting, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced safety features. EVA-g-MAH plays a crucial role in bonding dissimilar materials, such as plastics to metals, or different types of polymers within interior and exterior components.

  • Adhesion Promoter: In applications like interior trim, door seals, and under-the-hood components, EVA-g-MAH acts as an excellent adhesion promoter. It ensures robust bonding between plastic substrates and metal reinforcements, or between different plastic layers, contributing to the overall structural integrity and longevity of the automotive parts.
  • Compatibilizer for Blends: Many automotive components are made from polymer blends to achieve a specific balance of properties. EVA-g-MAH can improve the compatibility of these blends, such as PP or PA with other polymers, leading to materials with superior impact strength and thermal resistance, critical for demanding automotive environments.
  • Wire and Cable Insulation: For wire and cable applications within vehicles, EVA-g-MAH can enhance adhesion to conductors and improve the overall toughness and abrasion resistance of the insulation materials.

By choosing high-quality EVA-g-MAH, automotive manufacturers can ensure the reliability and performance of their components, often benefiting from competitive pricing when sourcing from established suppliers.

EVA-g-MAH in the Packaging Sector

The packaging industry requires materials that offer excellent barrier properties, seal integrity, and good printability, all while being cost-effective. EVA-g-MAH contributes significantly to these requirements:

  • Adhesive Films and Laminates: EVA-g-MAH is an effective component in adhesive films used for laminating various packaging layers. Its ability to bond well with different substrates ensures the integrity of multi-layer packaging, protecting contents and extending shelf life.
  • Improved Seal Strength: In flexible packaging, achieving a strong, consistent seal is vital. EVA-g-MAH can enhance the heat-sealing properties of EVA-based films, leading to superior seal strength and reduced instances of package failure.
  • Enhanced Printability: The polarity introduced by the MAH groups can improve the surface energy of packaging films, leading to better ink adhesion and superior printability for branding and product information.
