Polypropylene compatibilizer excellent for coupling PP to inorganic materials, PP to polar polymers and other uses.
Created directly through reaction instead of extrusion, our CAI-PP-30 compatibilizer is ideal for coupling reinforcing layers like glass filler or PP-to-metal adhesion. Superb Izod & Charpy performance, notched and unnotched.
This compatibilizer also features significantly decreased VOC than traditional MAH grafted modifiers.
- Benefits
- Functions as a coupling agent between polypropylene and reinforcing materials, such as glass fibers and inorganic fillers.
- Achieve compatibility between polyolefins and more polar polymers capable of interacting with maleic anhydride for alloying, recycling or co-extrusion purposes.
- Improves polypropylene-to-metal adhesion.
- Excellent unnotched Izod and Charpy impact performance in filled resin.
- Excellent notched Izod & Charpy impact performance in filled resin.
- Improve tensile and flexural strength in filled compounds.
- Less VOC compared to traditional MAH grafted modifiers.
