Westlake produces both random (EMAC®) and blocked (EMAC+®) ethylene methyl
acrylate copolymers, as well as random (EBAC®) and blocked (EBAC+®) ethylene
butyl acrylate copolymers. These specialty copolymers are compatible with a
variety of engineering polymers, creating blends with high flexibility, impact,
and puncture resistance over a broad range of temperatures. They also perform
well in highly filled systems, making these copolymers ideal carrier resins for
concentrate.

 Westlake offers a series of medium-to-low molecular weight polyethylene
and polypropylene polymers under the EPOLENE® trade name. They are
useful in the plastics industry as lubricants for PVC, processing aids, mold
release agents, dispersion aids, and coupling agents. They are also widely
used as base polymers for hot melt adhesives, emulsions, polymer modified
asphalt for paving and roofing, and pavement-striping compounds, as well as
petroleum wax modifiers for use in candles, investment casting, cable filling,
and various paperboard coatings.
All EPOLENE® products come standard in pellet form. Select grades are also
offered in powder form. Please contact us to learn more.
