Ateva® ExtruBond™ EVA to be showcased at 2016 TAPPI Place Conference
To meet the growing need for stronger, more flexible extrusion coating
materials for food packaging and other applications, Celanese
Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty materials
company, is launching Ateva® ExtruBond™ ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
Manufacturers can use various grades of this latest flexible packaging
and thermal lamination polymer to package food, for packaging lids, and
for document lamination and gift cards.
“Where manufacturing speed is critical, we’ve created a material that
allows converters to run lines both faster and more efficiently to
improve machine utilization and increase a converter’s capacity,” said
Stephanie Barden, global business development manager for the EVA
Polymers business of Celanese. “We formulated Ateva® ExtruBond™ EVA to
hit this sweet spot with a chemical makeup that provides a much stronger
bond to substrates commonly used in packaging and lamination processes.”
Celanese developed this material using a combination of unique polymer
properties, deep technical expertise and regulatory knowledge to create
a polymer that is equally safe to package and preserve food, film or
tubing. This new polymer technology proves in extensive customer testing
and early use to increase line speeds and dramatically improve adhesion
during the extrusion coating process for a stronger, more reliable bond.
For customers using this new material, Celanese provides technical
expertise, processing assistance and regulatory support, from
proof-of-concept throughout the product development process to
commercialization.
Celanese will showcase Ateva® ExtruBond™ EVA in its exhibit space and in
two presentations during TAPPI Place Conference for the flexible
packaging industry April 11-13 in Fort Worth, Texas.
