Products Description
W5AF is a glycidyl methacrylate modified polyolefin elastomer with high content of reactive groups.
W5AF is a type of polyolefin elastomer that has been modified with glycidyl methacrylate, resulting in the incorporation of a high number of reactive groups into its structure. This modification enhances the elastomer’s reactivity and makes it useful for a variety of applications that require high-performance materials with excellent mechanical properties.
The high content of reactive groups in W5AF makes it suitable for use in various industries such as automotive, wire and cable, and consumer goods. It can be used as a modifier for thermoplastics, adhesives, and coatings to improve their mechanical properties, such as impact resistance and adhesion. Additionally, W5AF can be used as a base material for manufacturing seals, gaskets, and other products that require high flexibility and good chemical resistance.
Overall, W5AF is a versatile and high-performance elastomer that has a wide range of applications due to its reactive nature and excellent mechanical properties.
By grafting glycidyl methacrylate onto a polyolefin backbone, a copolymer known as the glycidyl methacrylate modified polyolefin elastomer is created. Epoxy groups are added to the polymer chain during the copolymerization process, giving the material functionalization and reactivity. The produced elastomer displays a distinctive blend of epoxy and elastomeric properties.
Polyolefin elastomers are a class of materials that combine the elasticity of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics. They are known for their excellent flexibility, low density, and good chemical resistance. Glycidyl methacrylate is a reactive monomer that can form covalent bonds with other polymers or monomers, resulting in crosslinking and improved mechanical properties.
