XIBOND™ 950

XIBOND™ 950 by aurorium is a styrene, methyl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate random copolymer. Acts as a chain extender, surface- & viscosity- modifier, compatibilizer and coupling agent. The viscosity modification lowers the molding temperature and provides a better surface appearance. 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. 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. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. XIBOND™ 950 can be processed using extrusion in all types of regular polymer processing equipment. It is compatible with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and also recycled material. Recommended dosage level is 0.1-5 %.
