poly(ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate)

polymer

Poly(ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate), commonly known as EEA, is a random copolymer combining ethylene and ethyl acrylate units, resulting in a flexible thermoplastic with improved low-temperature impact resistance and elasticity compared to polyethylene homopolymers. The material is widely used in flexible films, tubing, adhesives, and coating applications where impact toughness and processing flexibility are critical; engineers typically specify EEA when standard polyethylene becomes brittle at low temperatures or when enhanced adhesion properties are needed, making it a preferred alternative to EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) in applications requiring better chemical resistance or UV stability.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
