VINNEX® 8802 is an innovative compound made from a vinyl acetate/vinyl laurate copolymer and polyvinyl acetate. This thermoplastic resin is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, and it can be easily melted in its dosable form. It is specifically recommended as a highly efficient low profile additive (LPA) that offers a significantly improved LPA effect in vinyl ester resins, even at lower curing temperatures compared to conventional LPA grades. Furthermore, VINNEX® 8802 demonstrates excellent compatibility with biopolyesters like PLA.

Functions: Shrinkage Reducing Agent

Chemical Family: Polyvinyl Acetates (PVA), Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Polybutylene Succinate (PBS), Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), Polylactic Acid (PLA), Vinyl Esters

Processing Methods: Injection Molding
