Dow Retain™ 3000 Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic
Material Notes:	Product Description: Retain™ 3000 is a functional polymer which promotes compatilbilzation between polyolefins and polar polyers such as ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and polyamide (Nylon) and blends of polar polymer. Retain™ 3000 is a unique technology designed to effectively compatibilizer polar and non-polar polymeric components typically found in recycle streams. This compatibilizer was developed using Dow’s expertise in material science and reactive chemistry to compatibilze two otherwise immiscible materials while maintaining critical physical properties. Composition Ultra High% by weight Maleic Anhydride Graft levels are defines as: Low <0.2%; Medium 0.2-0.5%; High 0.5-1.0%; Ultra high > 1.0% Features: Pellets are dusted with an anti-massing agent Characteristics/Benefits: Good compatibilization between polyolefins and polar polymers Wide range of process and service temperature For blown and cast film May be used in-line or pre-compounded Retain 3000 disperses polar polymers into the polyolefin matrix and decreases the size of polar domains which results in lower haze. This applies for both polyethylene and polypropylene dominate streams. Applications: Retain 3000 is most specifically designed to compatilize polyamide (nylon) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) into a continuous polyethylene matrix This polymers achieve their functionality by reacting with the polar polymers and then efficiently dispersing them into the polyethylene majority matrix Due to the complex nature of a cycle stream, the typical properties reflect those found in select instances but serve as a guide for anticipated properties while recognizing that the reprocessing equipment selected will define the ultimate utility of the compatibilizer. Additionally, the level of recycle compatibilizer needed to achieve maximum physical properties is dependent on the amount and type of polar polymer present in the recycle stream.
