Functionalised low density polyethylene to be used as compatibiliser for polymer blends or coupling agent for wood flour, natural fibres, or mineral filled polyolefins. Also suitable to reduce pigment-related warpage effects in polyolefins. Examples: Cable compounds, organic monopigment preparations and wood flour filled polymer composites (WPC’s).Mode of action and advantages: PRIEX® 15005 is a polyethylene, grafted with an extra high content of maleic anhydride. The grafted maleic anhydride introduces polarity to the polymer achieving compatibility between polyolefins and more polar polymers like EVOH. Advantages: Excellent mechanical properties, good cost / performance; Ultra low smell, low VOC and emissions; Excellent coupling agent for natural fiber reinforced polymer composites or wood flour reinforced polymer composites; Free flowing pellets; and Safe and easy handling. Food contact: PRIEX® 15005 composition meets the requirements of Commission Directive 2002/72/EC and further amendments. Former ADDCOMP product line, acquired by BYK. |
