Lotader® Applications - Impact modifiers for engineering plastics

Temperature resistant thermoplastics (for example PA, PBT, PET and PC/PBT alloys) are more and more frequently used in the automotive, electrical & electronic industries. Significant parts of these markets need improved impact resistance.

 

Ethylene copolymers with high comonomer content and therefore good elastomeric behaviour can be successfully used as impact modifiers.

 

Lotader® MAH grades give excellent performance in modifying PA6 and PA66 ranging from flexible PA to super-tough PA, while Lotader® GMA grades are the most suitable for the modification of polyesters.

 

Lotryl® is frequently combined with Lotader® to adjust processability, impact strength and cost.

 

Lotader® and Lotryl® are totally miscible with polyolefins (PO), and therefore are good compatibilizers for PA/PO and polyester/PO blends, as well as PET recycling.
