Low temperature resistance

For applications such as Ice creams or frozen food packaging, hot-melts have to maintain high level of adhesion and flexibility at -40°C which is known as a good "deep-freeze" resistance. The flexibilty of an ethylene copolymer based hot-melt is highly linked to its glass transition temperature (Tg). The lowest is this Tg, the best would be the deep-freeze performances. (See also : HMA for packaging application) For this type of application high copolymer content an EVA and an EBA products are highly recommended.
