Lucalen is LyondellBasell’s trade name for its ethylene butyl acrylate (EBA) copolymer and ethylene acrylic acid/acrylate copolymers. Lucalen resins are versatile functional copolymers, the high elasticity and unique polarity of Lucalen lends itself perfectly to a range of applications. Lucalen resins are EBA is often used to replace ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), especially in high temperature processes where thermal decomposition and the formation of acetic acid, which causes odour, loss of properties and corrosion in the tools, need to be avoided.
