ADMER® PE-type Grades
PREFACE
ADMER® PE type grades are designed for multi-layer films, bottles, sheets and tubes composed of polyethylene (PE) and EVOH or PA.
These grades are based on L-LDPE. As a result of our advanced anhydride grafting technology, these grades create superb adhesion to EVOH and PA, while maintaining an excellent processability and a thermal stability equivalent to that of common Polyolefins.

ADMER® Pipe Application Grades
PREFACE
ADMER® Pipe grades are designed for multi-layer pipes composed of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polybutylene (PB) and metal, EVOH or PA. These grades are based on LLDPE or PP and are highly stabilized for pipe application. As a result of our advanced anhydride grafting technology, these grades create superb adhesion to metal, EVOH and PA, while maintaining an excellent processability equivalent to that of common LLDPE and PP.
ADMER® Pipe grades are certified in aging resistance or thermal durability according to ISO 2578 respectively DVGW W542 Annex C for a life time of more than 50 years under operational conditions.
