APPEEL™ 53009 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

Applications

• Low temperature heat seal. APPEEL™ 53009 offers low temperature heat seals with adequate seal strength at 90C.

• Heat sealability to various materials including PE, PP, PS, and Rigid PVC. APPEEL™ 53009 can also be sealed to paper, paperboard, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, wood and photographic papers.

• APPEEL™ 53009 allows a peelable seal from most plastic materials excluding PE.

• High transparency.

• Boiling resistance. APPEEL™ 53009 endures boiling process, whose conditions are 85C / 30min.

• APPEEL™ 53009 conforms to Code #20 of the Ministry of Health and Welfare Japan.

• APPEEL™ 53009 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™ 53009
PET/PE/ APPEEL™ 53009
Over lacquer/Print/Foil/PE/ APPEEL™ 53009
Paper/PE/Foil/PE/ APPEEL™ 53009

APPEEL™ 53008 can also be used as a sealant in general flexible packaging. It provides low temperature seals for snacks and confectionery.
