Applications & Uses

Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
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.
