SCONA® TPPE 1212 PAHD

SCONA® TPPE 1212 PAHD by BYK is a modifier based on polyethylene (HDPE) functionalized with maleic acid anhydride for polyethylene compounds with glass fibers, wood and other natural fibers. It functions as a compatibility agent for PA/PE blends and exhibits good homogeneity. It improves the mechanical properties (rigidity, bending strength, impact strength) and reduces water absorption. The extremely high maleic acid anhydride content also results in ideal flow properties, making the product highly effective. Recommended dosage level is 1-4% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation, depending on the fiber content and 30% additive (as supplied) based upon the polyethylene content in polyamide/polyethylene blends. It complies with REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011, Regulation (EU) No. 1935/2004, FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 ‘Olefin polymers’ and FDA 21 CFR 174.5. SCONA® TPPE 1212 PAHD has a shelf life of 36 months.
