Get Surlyn 1601

Surlyn's properties derive from what is called an ionomer bond. An ionomer of sodium or zinc in limbo share with the orbit of polyethylene molecules. This delivers unsurpassed tack and toughness and strength.

Surlyn® Properties Surlyn® is a soft, clear polymer with outstanding thermoforming characteristics, and excellent drape forming and blister forming characteristics. Surlyn® is widely used in the O&P market for cranial helmets, check sockets, flexible prosthetic sockets, face masks for sports and burns, and more.

Polyethylene is a simple linear polymer made from the monomer ethylene, while Surlyn is a more complex ionomer resin made from a combination of different monomers and metal ions. The presence of ionic groups in Surlyn gives it unique properties that are not found in polyethylene.

Surlyn® is a tough, easily formed thermoplastic sheet/film product.

Surlyn. Surlyn is the brand name of an ionomer resin created by DuPont, a copolymer of ethylene and methacrylic acid used as a coating and packaging material. DuPont neutralizes the acid with NaOH, yielding the sodium salt.

Surlyn film is used primarily in skin packaging applications, which means the film forms around the product and onto a carded substrate such as cardboard or paperboard during the packaging process. It is also used in shrink applications that don't require a backing board.
