PRIMACOR 3004
PRIMACOR™ 3004 Copolymer is an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer which has been specifically designed by SK for use as an adhesive or sealant layer in extrusion/coextrusion coating and lamination.
Introduction
PRIMACOR™ 3004 Copolymer is an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer which has been specifically designed by SK for use as an adhesive or sealant layer in extrusion/coextrusion coating and lamination.
PRIMACOR™ 3004 Copolymer exhibits:
· Excellent draw-down and edge stability
· Adhesion to paper, paperboard, metals and polyethylenes
· High performance sealant or tie layer
· Excellent hot-tack and sealability
· Excellent seal through contamination
· Excellent product resistance
· Excellent toughness and strength
· Outstanding environmental stress crack and product resistance

1 Comonomer content measured by a SK proprietary method that has equivalent accuracy as compared to ASTM D 4094.
2 Equipment used to process this resin should be constructed of corrosion resistant materials. Dies and adapters are recommended to be stainless steels and/or duplex chrome or nickel plated.
Application
· Flexible packaging laminates
· Liquid packaging board laminates
Extrusion Notes
Equipment used to process this resin should be constructed of corrosion resistant materials. Dies and adapters are
recommended to be stainless and/or duplex chrome or nickel plated.
Notes
These are typical values and are not be construed as specifications. The physical properties are highly dependent on the
manufacturing conditions. So customers should confirm performances by their own tests.
