VESTOPLAST® 408

VESTOPLAST® grades are amorphous poly-alpha-olefins, produced with three monomers - ethylene, propylene and butene-1. It is mainly used as a raw material for hot melt adhesives that are applied within several industries like hygiene, automotive, packaging and woodworking.

All VESTOPLAST® grades are produced to specification in a continuous Ziegler low-pressure polymerization process. We design polymers with optimum and balanced values for ad- and cohesion, soft- and hardness, open and setting times.
Our focus is producing easy to process polymers that offer as well the right melt viscosity, excellent stability and high thermal stability under load.

Typical Applications
