Westlake Tymax™ GA7501 Anhydride Modified Acrylate Copolymer (Developmental)

Westlake GA7501 is an anhydride modified acrylate copolymer for extrusion coating and cast film tie-layers. This resin is designed to function as a coextruded tie-layer in multilayer applications where more heat resistance is required than typical acrylate polymers provide. Westlake GA7501 is designed to tie polyethylene or polyester to resins that typically have poor bonding characteristics such as polyamide and EVOH. This polymer can also be used as a compatibilizer for compounding dissimilar resins. Its applications include: tie-layers, packaging, and compounding.
