Description
Exxtra Adhere EAA14011 is an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer resin designed for high-speed, low-coating-weight extrusion coating and extrusion lamination.
With an acrylic acid content of 11.0 wt% and a melt index of 14 g/10 min, EAA14011 provides excellent adhesion to polar substrates including aluminum foil, polyamide films, metallized films, paper, iron, steel, and glass.
It offers high bond resistance for acidic-food packaging, very low sealing and hot-tack initiation temperatures, and very high hot-tack peak force, making it suitable for demanding packaging and laminate structures.

Processing Guidelines
Recommended extrusion coating temperature: 260–280°C / 500–536°F
- Avoid processing temperatures above 300°C / 572°F, as prolonged exposure may cause resin degradation.
- Use corrosion-resistant metals or suitable nickel/chrome plating for metal surfaces exposed to the molten resin.
- Feed Exxtra Adhere resin into the extruder after LDPE with a similar or higher melt index.
- Before shutdown, completely purge the equipment with LDPE or a suitable cleaning compound.
- Optimize coating weight, line speed, air gap, die temperature, and substrate treatment according to the actual laminate structure.
Additives and Regulatory Information
- Antiblock: No
- Slip: No
- Thermal Stabilizer: No
For information regarding potential food-contact applications and applicable requirements such as FDA, EU, or HPFB regulations, customers must review the latest supplier compliance documentation before commercial use.
