EVA Waxes

Produced using copolymerization of ethylene with the polar co-monomer vinyl acetate, EVA-copolymer waxes offer good compatibility, flexibility and surface adhesion. 

Our range of EVA waxes includes:

• Non-oxidized EVA waxes: VISCOWAX^® 334, 343
• Oxidized EVA wax: VISCOWAX^® 453

For use in polar plastics and water-based wax emulsions, EVA-waxes maintain required properties such as flexibility and adhesion.

Important functions of EVA-waxes:

• Adhesiveness – useful in improving stickiness
• Compatibilizer – for use in formulations with ingredients of different polarity
• Wetting & dispersing – especially for hard-to-disperse polar pigments & additives
• Flexibility – for increased mechanical stability or processability in some compounds
• Anti-slip agent – for use in floor polishes (emulsion of VISCOWAX^® 453).
