...rements are in many cases so expensive as to make the entire manufacturing operation uneconomic. Ethylene-acrylate Copolymers instead of Compromises The various grades in a recently launched family of versatile ethylene-acrylate copolymers (grade: Elvaloy AC, manufacturer: DuPont) often seem to provide the required solution. They all combine exceptionally high heat resistance and processing stability – compared to the frequently used ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) – with a range of other advanta...
