APPEEL™ 53070 is a modified ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin designed to function as a sealing layer for lidding applications. It is most often suggested to provide strong peelable seals to polypropylene, and moderate seals to polystyrene, polyester, PVC and is available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion or coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins.

Uses

• Lidding Sealant

Features

• *** Contains amides for slip / chill roll release, but more than in APPEEL™ 53071.

Applications
Contains amides for slip / chill roll release, but more than in APPEEL™ 53071.

• Low temperature heat seal. APPEEL™ 53070 offers low temperature heat seals with adequate seal strength at 90C.

• Heat sealability to various materials including PE, PP, PS, and Rigid PVC. APPEEL™ 53070 can also be sealed to paper, paperboard, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, wood and photographic papers.

• APPEEL™ 53070 allows a peelable seal from most plastic materials excluding PE.

• High transparency.

• Boiling resistance. APPEEL™ 53070 endures boiling process, whose conditions are 90C / 30min.

• APPEEL™ 53070 conforms to Code #20 of the Ministry of Health and Welfare Japan.

• APPEEL™ 53070 is used as a heat seal layer in lidding material for injection molded and vacuum molded plastic containers, especially HIPS and PS used in the packaging of yogurts, jams, butter and other food items.

Typical structures for this lidding would be:
OPP/PE/ APPEEL™ 53070
PET/PE/ APPEEL™ 53070
Over lacquer/Print/Foil/PE/ APPEEL™ 53070
Paper/PE/Foil/PE/ APPEEL™ 53070

APPEEL™ 53070 can also be used as a sealant in general flexible packaging. It provides low temperature seals for snacks and confectionery.
