• It enhances adhesion to brass- and zinc-coated steel during vulcanization and direct bonding to textiles such as rayon, nylon and polyester, as well as glass and aromatic fibers.
• It requires the presence of a methylene donor such as hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) or hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM).
• It is used in hoses (textile or wire reinforced-hydraulic/oil suction/ discharge hoses), belting (textile or wire reinforced-conveyor-/transmission-/V-belting), tyres (textile or wire reinforced- passenger/truck/aircraft tyres (both cross-ply and radial)) and rubberized fabrics (protective clothing, tarpaulins, diaphragms with synthetic, woven fibers).
• Its recommended dosage level is 3.0-4.0 pphr along with 1.5-2.0 pphr of hexamethylene-tetramine.
• To improve further bond strength, 10.0-15.0 pphr of reinforcing silica can be added.
• CASABOND™ 1202 has a shelf life of 24 months.

Fine-Blend® CMG9801 distributed by DKSH is an adhesion promoter. It is a maleic anhydride modified polypropylene with excellent long-term thermal-aging property. It can provide excellent adhesion between PP and polar substrates such as glass, metal & minerals and high reactivity with some chemical groups(-NH₂, -OH).

• It can be processed over a wide range of conditions.

XIBOND™ 160 by aurorium is a styrene and maleic anhydride random copolymer. Acts as a coupling agent, compatibilizer, adhesion promoter and viscosity modifier. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. Compatibilizers optimize the interfacial tension and morphology against high stresses. As a coupling agent, it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties. The viscosity modification lowers the molding temperature and provides a better surface appearance. It is compatible with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins. XIBOND™ 160 is recommended to use twin screw extruders with a mild screw configuration and vacuum degassing facility for good dispersion in styrenic polymer. Recommended dosage level is 1-5%.
