- Applications
- Adhesion and compatibility enhancer to substrates like nylon, polyester, PPO, aluminum etc.
- Impact modifier in many polar polymers for making super tough engineering thermoplastic materials.
- Processing Conditions
- Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 290°C.
- At temperatures above 290°C, these speciality polymers can evolve low concentrations of fumes.
- If overheated, more extensive decomposition may occur due to exposure of overheated polymers to atmospheric oxygen.
- Adequate local ventilation should be provided to remove the fumes from the work area.
