Marpol EVA 802
What Is Marpol EVA 802?
Marpol EVA 802 (MARPOL® EVA 802) is a low-vinyl acetate (8.7%) ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film resin engineered for blown and cast film extrusion. Distributed globally by Marco Polo International, Marpol EVA 802 is designed for high-clarity, high-impact, and high-sealability film structures, especially for food and meat packaging. Its unique balance of clarity, toughness, and low seal-initiation temperature makes it a preferred choice for Indian flexible packaging converters, meat packers, and industrial film producers.
Functional Features & Technical Detail
- 7% VA Content: Delivers the ideal balance of flexibility, toughness, and sealability for food films.
- Excellent Impact Strength: High dart drop and tear resistance for robust, abuse-resistant packaging.
- Superior Heat Sealability: Low seal-initiation temperature and strong hot-tack, outperforming LDPE in seal reliability.
- High Clarity, Low Haze: Gloss ~88, haze ~1.5% for attractive, transparent packaging.
- Consistent Processing: MI ~2 g/10 min for stable blown/cast film extrusion and good bubble stability.
Applications
Marpol EVA 802 is trusted by Indian and global film producers for:
- Meat and Food Packaging Films: Mono- and multi-layer films for fresh and processed meat, cheese, and chilled foods. Offers high dart impact, reliable seals, and excellent clarity for product visibility.
- Coextruded PE/EVA Films: Used as a sealant layer over LDPE/LLDPE base films, Marpol EVA 802 brings lower seal-initiation temperature, better hot-tack, and improved abuse resistance.
Industrial and Specialty Films: Shrink films, laminating films, and specialty wraps where toughness and sealability are critical.
