LG Chem EVA EC28005

LG Chem EVA EC28005 is a high-performance, contaminant-free ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer engineered for wire & cable insulation, semi-conductive compounds, and high-filler electrical applications. With 28% vinyl acetate, ultra-low MFI 5 g/10 min, density 0.951 g/cm³, tensile strength 12 MPa, elongation 800%, and Shore A 78, EC28005 delivers outstanding flexibility, electrical compatibility, and superior high-filler-loading capability. Developed by LG Chem (South Korea), EC28005 ensures uniform VA/MI, strict contaminant control, and predictable electrical and mechanical performance for cable manufacturers, compounders, and insulation specialists across India’s major electrical cable clusters.

Functional Features & Technical Authority

• Ultra-Low MFI (5): Enables high-filler loading (carbon black, flame retardant) without compromising melt flow or compound stability—crucial for semi-conductive and insulation applications.
• Contaminant-Free: Strict quality control ensures minimal gel, no fisheye, and particle-free resin—critical for electrical safety, breakdown prevention, and long cable life.
• 28% VA Content: Delivers exceptional flexibility and electrical compatibility, allowing cables to withstand bending, laying, and thermal or mechanical stress.
• Uniform VA/MI: Guarantees consistent batch-to-batch performance, electrical property predictability, and mechanical reliability in every cable production run.
• Electrical-Optimised: Designed for semi-conductive cable compounds, insulation shields, and conductor shields—ensuring stable electrical resistance, shielding, and cable safety.
• High Filler Loading Capability: Accepts up to 30–40% carbon black/flame retardant for required conductivity, flame resistance, and mechanical durability.
• Excellent Mechanical Strength: 12 MPa tensile, 800% elongation ensure cable jackets and insulation resist damage, abrasion, and environmental stress.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets IEC, ASTM, and cable industry standards for mechanical, electrical, and safety performance; documentation available from LG Chem and Indian distributors.
