Lucofin® 1492M HG is a chemically modified polyethylene, i.e. EBA grafted with maleic anhydride (MA). Lucofin® 1492M HG can be used pure or combined with other polymers where improved polarity is required. Product advantages easy processing on standard processing equipment polarity and adhesion to various materials good compatibility and filler acceptance good mechanical properties environmentally sound Applications Due to the maleic anhydride content this grade offers excellent adhesion to polar materials and can be used – possibly in combination with Lucofin® 1400HN or Lucofin® 1400MN – to provide high filler loading, such as ATH (Aluminum tri hydrate) and MDH (Magnesium di hydrate) in HFFR compounds flexibilize and toughen (impact modification) otherwise brittle plastics (PA, PA/ABS, PBT, PET), including scrap/recycled material modify melt viscosity and therefore improve processability for PA compatibilize dissimilar polymer compounds, such as PA/PE and PE/PS improve bonding and strength in wood-plastic composite WPC, such as PE, PP/ wood flour polymer/fiber (glass fiber, natural fiber, long fiber, short fiber) compounds such as PP/long glass fibre in multilayer films/structures to act as a tie layer between dissimilar materials, such as polyolefins, PE copolymers, ionomers, polyamides, EVOH, polyesters, polycarbonates and aluminium ,e. g.: PE / Lucofin® 1492M HG / PA PE / Lucofin® 1492M HG / PET PE / Lucofin® 1492M HG / EVOH&& |
