XIBOND™ 180

XIBOND™ 180 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. The viscosity modification lowers the molding temperature and provides a better surface appearance. As a coupling agent, it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties. It is compatible with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins. XIBOND™ 180 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 %.
