Polyolefins serve as compatibilizers in polymer compounding.
Press Release Summary:
Designed to minimize interfacial forces between polymers and polymer fillers, Maleic Anhydride-Modified Polyolefins optimize adhesion within composite, while facilitating uniform dispersion and stable morphologies. EK-10-MAH is recommended for coupling of glass and other fillers in polypropylene composites, while KK-10-MAH is suited for coupling of glass, wood pulp, and other fillers in HDPE composites.
Original Press Release:
Adell Plastics Announces a New Line of Maleic Anhydride-Modified Polyolefin Compatibilizers
Adell Plastics is pleased to announce the introduction of a new line of maleic anhydride- modified polyolefins for use as compatibilizers in polymer compounding. These additive products have been designed to reduce the interfacial forces between polymers and polymer fillers to increase adhesion within a composite. In addition, the presence of compatibilizers within a composite generally results more uniform dispersion and more stable morphologies. This product family is designed to have a high level of functionality to permit for low addivation levels
Initial offerings in Adell's new compatibilizer product family include:
EK-10-MAH Maleic Anhydride-Modified Polypropylene recommended for coupling of glass and other fillers in Polypropylene composites.
KK-10-MAH Maleic Anhydride-Modified HDPE recommended for coupling of glass, wood pulp and other fillers in HDPE composites.
