XIBOND™ 315

XIBOND™ 315 by aurorium is a styrene, maleic anhydride and n-phenyl maleimide random terpolymer-based compatibilizer, coupling agent, adhesion promoter, surface- & viscosity- modifier and chain extender. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends.

• As a coupling agent it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties.
• Compatibilizer optimizes the interfacial tension and morphology against high stresses.
• Chain extender connects polymer chains together to raise the molecular weight, melt strength, processability, flow properties and thickness.
• Surface modifier changes the polarity of a product leading to a different surface tension of the polymer matrix and modifies the adhesion properties of the polymer.
• XIBOND™ 315 can be processed using extrusion in all types of regular polymer processing equipment.
• It is compatible with high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) resins.
• It 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%.
