The unique molecular construction of PRIMACOR* copolymers creates uncommon internal toughness. Abrasion resistance, puncture resistance, and high environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) are among the differentiating characteristics. Flexible coatings with good flex crack resistance and exceptional elongation are possible.

What could you do with this powerful polymer? The options are abundant-abrasion-resistant surface coatings, puncture- and tear-resistant coextruded films, and physically durable and dependable cast films and tie layers for diverse applications have been developed. PRIMACOR copolymers have been used successfully as coating to protect metal surfaces from attack by moisture, acidic materials, and greasy, oily materials. They've even been used as a durable additive in concrete and asphalt repair processes.
