XIBOND™ 335

XIBOND™ 335 by aurorium is a styrene, maleic anhydride and N-Phenylmaleimide random terpolymer. Acts as a coupling agent, compatibilizer, adhesion promoter viscosity-modifier and chain extender. Compatibilizer optimizes the interfacial tension and morphology against high stresses. 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 modifies the adhesion properties of the polymer. Chain extender connects polymer chains together to raise the molecular weight, melt strength, processability, flow properties and thickness. It is designed to improve the blend morphology of specific polymer blends. XIBOND™ 335 can be processed using extrusion in all types of regular polymer processing equipment. It is compatible with high impact polystyrene (HIPS) 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 %.
