Features Of DOW Elvax 260 Toughener

  1. Highly effective ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer for impact modification of rigid thermoplastics.

  2. Excellent low-temperature toughness retention down to –40 °C.

  3. Good melt processability and compatibility with polyolefins, PVC, and engineering resins.

  4. Enhances ductility without significantly compromising stiffness or heat deflection temperature.

  5. Free-flowing pellet form ensures consistent feeding and minimal dust generation during handling.

Typical Applications Of DOW Elvax 260 Toughener

  1. Automotive interior trim components requiring dimensional stability and impact resistance.

  2. Rigid PVC profiles for window frames and siding where low-temperature brittleness must be mitigated.

  3. Medical device housings demanding toughness, sterilizability, and regulatory compliance support.

  4. Consumer electronics enclosures requiring balanced rigidity-toughness performance.

  5. Industrial packaging containers subject to mechanical stress and thermal cycling.
