Final product types

• Flexible power cables and control wires
• Automotive wiring harnesses
• Consumer appliance cords

4. Hot Melt Adhesive Formulations

This ethylene-vinyl acetate co-polymer grade supports low application temperatures and rapid setting in hot melt adhesive (HMA) manufacture, particularly for packaging, woodworking, and bookbinding. Compounders choose it for its compatibility with tackifiers and waxes, targeting adhesive open time, bond strength, and specific regulatory performance such as food packaging contact compliance.

Industry compliance standards

Final product types

• Hot melt adhesive sticks, granules, and blocks
• Case and carton sealing adhesives
• Bookbinding glues
• General purpose and specialty packaging adhesives

5. Film Extrusion for Packaging

This grade enables the production of co-extruded and monolayer films tailored for flexible packaging and lamination applications. Its clarity, puncture resistance, and sealability help downstream processors optimize multilayer barrier structures, ensuring compliance with food safety and mechanical integrity requirements as mandated by international packaging markets.

Industry compliance standards
