XIBOND™ 160

XIBOND™ 160 by aurorium is a styrene and maleic anhydride random copolymer. Acts as a coupling agent, compatibilizer, adhesion promoter and viscosity modifier. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. Compatibilizers optimize the interfacial tension and morphology against high stresses. As a coupling agent, it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties. The viscosity modification lowers the molding temperature and provides a better surface appearance. It is compatible with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins. XIBOND™ 160 is recommended to use twin screw extruders with a mild screw configuration and vacuum degassing facility for good dispersion in styrenic polymer. Recommended dosage level is 1-5%.
