VINNEX® 8880

1 of 12 products in this brand
VINNEX® 8880 is an innovative compound made from a vinyl acetate/vinyl laurate copolymer and polyvinyl acetate. It is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless thermoplastic resin that comes in a dosable form and can be easily melted. This versatile product is recommended for use in transparent films and injection molding applications. It is a flexible polymer with a low melt viscosity, making it well-suited for thermoplastic processing.

Application Details

VINNEX® 8880 is recommended for transparent films and injection molding applications. It is a flexible polymer with a low melt viscosity in thermoplastic processing. It shows excellent compatibility with Biopolyesters like PLA. The melt viscosity and the metallic noise of the PLA film will be significantly reduced. In combination with PLA the processing temperature needs to be lowered. The typical level of VINNEX 8880 for modifying PLA is in the range of 5 to 40 %.
