Excellent Low-Temperature Flexibility and Elasticity: The 28% high VA content gives the material rubber-grade elasticity. It maintains good flexibility even at -50°C without the risk of brittle cracking, making it suitable for extreme low-temperature conditions.
Superior Electrical Insulation Performance: With high volume resistivity and a stable dielectric constant, it is an ideal base material for insulation and semi-conductive shielding layers of medium and low voltage wires and cables, ensuring power transmission safety.
Strong Filler Compatibility and Processability: It can be filled with high proportions of fillers such as calcium carbonate and talcum powder to effectively reduce costs. It is compatible with various processes including extrusion, injection molding, foaming, and hot melting, offering stable molding and a smooth product appearance.
Outstanding Chemical and Aging Resistance: Resistant to ozone, weathering, and acid/alkali corrosion. It does not easily age or yellow during long-term outdoor or industrial use, extending the product’s service life.
Environmental Compliance and High Transparency: Complies with RoHS and REACH environmental directives and contains no heavy metals or harmful substances. Its translucent characteristics are suitable for optical-grade films and transparent foaming applications.
Wire and Cable Industry (Core Application) Used as a base resin for wire and cable compounds in the production of power cable insulation, communication cable jackets, flame-retardant cable materials, and semi-conductive shielding materials. It is suitable for architectural wiring, automotive wire harnesses, and industrial control cables, meeting strict requirements for low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) and temperature/pressure resistance.
Industrial Foamed Products Used to manufacture high-elastic closed-cell foamed materials, such as sneaker midsoles, yoga mats, sealing gaskets, automotive interior cushioning parts, and building insulation foam boards. It combines lightweight, cushioning, sound insulation, and waterproof properties.
Hot Melt Adhesives and Sealants Used as the main base material for hot melt adhesives in wireless bookbinding, furniture edge banding, packaging sealing, automotive interior bonding, and electronic component fixation. It features strong adhesion, good flexibility, and fast curing speed.
Functional Films and Sheets Production of elastic packaging films, heat-shrinkable films, food preservation films, and agricultural insulation films. It offers high transparency, strong toughness, and puncture resistance, making it suitable for food, medicine, and agricultural packaging scenarios.
Other Industrial Fields Used in toy accessories, medical device tubing, household appliance seals, and modifiers for PV encapsulation films. It expands into multi-scenario applications relying on its biocompatibility, weather resistance, and processing flexibility.
Q1: Does Lotte SEETEC EVA VC590 require drying before processing? What are the drying conditions?
A: Drying is recommended before processing. Recommended conditions: temperature 60-70°C, drying time 2-4 hours. Ensure the moisture content of the raw material is ≤0.1% to avoid bubbles or flow marks during extrusion/injection molding, thereby improving the appearance and mechanical stability of the product.
Q2: What are the core differences between VC590 and general EVA, PMMA, or PC materials?
A:
Vs. General EVA: VC590 has a higher VA content (28%), offering superior flexibility, adhesion, and low-temperature resistance, making it better suited for cables, foaming, and hot melt adhesives. General EVA (VA < 20%) is more rigid and mostly used for films and general injection molding.
Vs. PMMA/PC: PMMA/PC feature high transparency and hardness but are brittle, have poor low-temperature resistance, and require high processing temperatures. VC590 is flexible, impact-resistant, low-temperature resistant, easy to process, and lower in cost, but its transparency and hardness are far below those of PMMA/PC. It is suitable for elastic, insulating, and foaming scenarios.
Q3: Does the product comply with environmental and safety certifications? What compliance documents can be provided?
A: VC590 complies with EU RoHS and REACH regulations and does not contain prohibited substances such as lead or cadmium. It passes FDA food contact standards (21 CFR 177.1520) and can indirectly contact food. We can provide SGS test reports, MSDS, COA (Certificate of Analysis), and UL Yellow Cards to meet global market access requirements.
Q4: What are the precautions for the storage and transportation of VC590?
A: It should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and cool warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight, high temperatures (>40°C), and humidity to prevent clumping or degradation. During transportation, protect it from rain and moisture, keep it away from fire sources and chemicals, and transport it as a general chemical. The shelf life is 12 months if unopened.
