To increase the resin’s compatibility with other polymers, reactive functional groups are added by a chemical process known as grafting.
Maleic anhydride grafts can be used in smaller amounts when altering materials like PA, PP, and PE compared to physical blending and toughening methods like POE.
Compatibilizers must be added since polyolefins like PE and PP lack good compatibility despite having complementing characteristics.
A finished product that is more robust, longer-lasting, and more aesthetically pleasing can result from the use of additives, whether it be through increased strength, improved flexibility, improved aesthetics, or improved chemical resistance.
In summary, by modifying the blending process, it is possible to increase the variety of plastics with relatively little investment, increase the uses for plastics, lower their cost, and produce high-performance, refined, functional, and functional plastics.
To enhance the interface morphology and gas barrier qualities of PP and PET blends, maleic anhydride can be grafted onto polypropylene.
Maleic anhydride functionalized additives have numerous uses in industries like packaging, building, and the automotive.
Maleic anhydride functionalized additives are ideal for a variety of applications due to their improved thermal stability and resistance to degradation.
These additives offer beneficial features that increase the performance and functioning of products, from improved adhesion and bonding to improved thermal stability, flame retardancy, impact resistance, and compatibility with other polymers.
