XIBOND™ 375

XIBOND™ 375 by aurorium is a styrene, maleic anhydride and N-Phenylmaleimide random terpolymer. Acts as a coupling agent, compatibilizer, chain extender, adhesion promoter and viscosity modifier. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. It can be processed using extrusion in all types of regular polymer processing equipment. Surface modifier changes the polarity of a product leading to a different surface tension of the polymer matrix and modifying the adhesion properties of the polymer. 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. As a coupling agent, it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties. It is compatible with high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) resins. XIBOND™ 375 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 %.
