UMEX 1001

UMEX 1001 distributed by Toyotsu Chemiplas and manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries acts as a compatibilizer. Improves dispersibility of pigments and fillers due to its high degree of modification and low melt viscosity. It is maleic acid-modified polypropylene used in air conditioner cover, plastic pellets and wood plastic. Offers improvement in molding processability and heat resistance. Exhibits good reactivity, very high acid value and adhesion properties. Compatible with LDPE, HDPE, PP and 6Ny. UMEX 1001 is added at a dosage level of 0.5-5 %wt to increase flexural strength and other physical properties of glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP).
