Hanwha TotalEnergies EVA E182L

Hanwha TotalEnergies EVA E182L is a next-generation 18% ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer engineered for high-productivity extrusion coating of food packaging film, kraft paper, aluminium foil, and BOPP/PET film. Produced using Hanwha’s proprietary high-pressure tubular polymerization process, E182L is uniquely positioned with a melt index of 15 g/10 min, VA 18 wt%, density 0.940 g/cm³, tensile yield 130 kg/cm² (~12.7 MPa), elongation >600%, Vicat 56°C, melt temp 83°C, and brittleness < -70°C.

E182L is the sweet spot between ultra-fast coating (E181L, MFI 25) and transparent film (E180L, MFI 2) – delivering superior flow control, rapid line speeds, outstanding optical clarity, low gel level, high adhesion strength, and well-balanced drawability. This makes E182L the preferred choice for converters seeking cost-effective, high-volume, and defect-free coating production across India’s food packaging, flexible packaging, and industrial film clusters.

Functional Features & Technical Authority

  • Balanced MFI for Coating: MFI 15 enables high-speed extrusion coating with optimal control over coating thickness and uniformity – striking the perfect balance between productivity and precision.
  • High Adhesion Strength: 18% VA content ensures robust bonding to BOPP, PET, kraft, and foil substrates, eliminating the need for separate tie-layer adhesives and enhancing laminate durability.
  • Outstanding Optical Clarity: Proprietary tubular process delivers gel-free, transparent coatings – critical for consumer-facing food packaging and premium flexible packaging.
  • Low Gel Level: Advanced polymerization minimizes gel formation, resulting in smooth, defect-free coating surfaces and reduced scrap rates.
  • Well-Balanced Drawability: Stable film geometry, controlled neck-in, and consistent thickness – preventing wrinkles, edge waves, and coating variability, even at high line speeds.
  • Cost-Effective Production: Rapid coating speeds and thin, uniform layers reduce material and energy costs per unit area, maximizing throughput for price-sensitive applications.
  • Thermal & Mechanical Stability: Vicat 56°C, melt temp 83°C, and brittleness < -70°C ensure coatings perform reliably across temperature extremes and during downstream processing.

Applications

Hanwha E182L is engineered for high-speed, high-quality extrusion coating applications where clarity, adhesion, and productivity are essential.

Extrusion Coating for Food Packaging Film:

182L is the top choice for BOPP, PET, kraft paper, and aluminium foil coatings – delivering heat-sealable, food-safe layers for snacks, baked goods, and dried food packaging. Its MFI 15 allows thin, transparent, and defect-free coatings at competitive line speeds.

Flexible Packaging & Lamination:

Ideal for stand-up pouches, gusset bags, roll film laminates, and non-food flexible packaging (cosmetics, detergents, industrial goods). E182L’s adhesion and flexibility ensure strong, reliable laminates that withstand handling and processing stress.

Specialty & Technical Coating Films:

Used in agricultural films (greenhouse, mulch), technical films, and custom laminates where EVA coating provides moisture/UV protection, sealability, and multi-layer bonding.

Miscellaneous Extrusion & Industrial Applications:

Compatible with cable sheathing, adhesive layers, and industrial bonding where a balanced-flow, high-clarity EVA is required.

Key Application Highlights:

  • BOPP/PET film coating for food and flexible packaging
  • Kraft paper and foil lamination for food wraps and takeaway containers
  • High-speed, defect-free coating for roll film laminates
  • Agricultural/technical films and specialty laminates
