XIBOND™ 185

XIBOND™ 185 by aurorium is a styrene and maleic anhydride random copolymer. Acts as a compatibilizer, coupling agent, adhesion promoter and viscosity modifier. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. As a coupling agent, it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties. Compatibilizer optimizes the interfacial tension and morphology against high stresses. The viscosity modification lowers the molding temperature and provides a better surface appearance. XIBOND™ 185 can be processed using extrusion in all types of regular polymer processing equipment. It is compatible with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins. It 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 %.
