EBAs of our partner Lucobit AG

In the previous blogs, we explained that there is a better and more sustainable alternative to the adverse effects of EVA, called EBA. Our partner Lucobit AG develops produces and sells high-quality materials for the plastics processing industry. With their many years of experience in the field of high-quality specialist plastics, they know the target group like no other.

Through continuous research and development, Lucobit can offer innovative products that give customers a decisive competitive advantage. Among them is the high-quality product Lucofin® which markets speciality plastics based on flexible polyolefin copolymers. Particularly in comparison with other plastomers, Lucofin EBAs proved to be the superior solution.

The figure below illustrates the essential properties and the resulting advantages of Lucofin® 1400 HN, 1400 MN, 1400 PN and their grafted equivalents. Taking these factors into account, the cost-effectiveness of Lucofin® EBAs becomes clear and represents the best solution.
