Description

LOTADER® AX8850 is a random ethylene – glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (E-GMA).

• The glycidyl methacrylate group gives reactivity with chemical functions such as OH, COOH and NH2 groups leading to its optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics (PET, PBT, PPS…).
• LOTADER® AX8850 high fluidity combined with the high GMA content yields to compounds targeting injection molding.
• LOTADER® AX8850 is a good compatibilizer of PET/PE, PBT/PE blends and is therefore recommended for the mechanical recycling of these blends.
• As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® AX8850 is compatible with LDPE and with many ethylene copolymers.
• LOTADER® AX8850 is also a good adhesion promoter when blended with polyolefin.

Processing

Heat stability of acrylate comonomer allows processing temperatures as high as for polyesters (PBT, PET) and PPS, which are the main material using LOTADER® AX8850 as impact modifier.

Storage, Handling & Safety

LOTADER® AX8850 should be stored in dry conditions and be kept out of moisture in an aerated building. Improper storage conditions may cause degradation and could have consequences on physical properties of the product.
Safety data sheet as well as information on handling and storage of the LOTADER® AX8850 is available upon request to your SK functional polymer representative.

Shelf Life
