Advantages of Elvax® in industrial and consumer applications include inherent toughness, resilience, better flexibility than low density polyethylene over a broad temperature range, and excellent environmental stress crack resistance. Clarity varies from translucent to transparent.With no plasticizer to migrate and low odor, these resins offer advantages for use in many applications now served by plasticized polyvinyl chloride and compounded rubbers. Typical applications include flexible hose and tubing, automobile bumper systems, footwear components, wire and cable compounding, molded automotive parts, toys and athletic goods.These resins can be processed by injection molding and other conventional thermoplastic methods including structural foam molding, sheet and shape extrusion, blow molding and wire coating. Conventional rubber processing techniques such as Banbury, two-roll milling and compression molding may also be used.
