Primary Chemistry:
Maleic Anhydride Modified High Density Polyethylene
Features & Benefits
- High functionality reduces water uptake and improves strength in PE wood composites
- Enhances hydrolytic stability in polyethylene - polyamide blends
- Improves strength and impact properties in composites with high-loading rates of glass or mineral fillers
- Improves dispersion and of halogen-free flame retardants in wire and cable compounds
- Some food-contact approvals
Problems Solved
Low performance of traditional compatibilizers in HDPE products and formulations
Insufficient impact strength and brittleness of wood fiber composites
High water absorption in polyolefins and polyethylene alloys
Performance and compatibility issues in wood and natural fibers composites
Applications
Ideal for use as a coupling agent in PE wood composites; dispersion aid in wire and cable compounds utilizing halogen-free flame retardants; improves strength in PE composites with high mineral or glass filler loading rates
