XIBOND™ 265

XIBOND™ 265 by aurorium is a styrene and maleic anhydride random copolymer. Acts as a compatibilizer, extender, surface- & viscosity- modifier, adhesion promoter and coupling agent. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. XIBOND™ 265 can be processed using extrusion in all types of regular polymer processing equipment. The viscosity modification lowers the molding temperature and provides better surface appearance. As a coupling agent it provides low viscosity, improved creep and tensile properties. Compatibilizer optimizes the interfacial tension and morphology against high stresses. Chain extender connects polymer chains together to raise the molecular weight, melt strength, processability, flow properties and thickness. 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. 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 %.
