LOTADER AX8900

LOTADER® AX8900 by SK is a random ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer. Acrylic ester brings softness and polarity, while keeping high thermal stability during processing. The high content of acrylic ester leads to high flexibility (low crystallinity) and high impact absorption behaviour. Glycidyl methacrylate provides reactivity (versus OH, COOH and NH2 groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics. As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® AX8900 is compatible with LDPE in all proportions, and with almost all other ethylene copolymers. LOTADER® AX8900 suitable as an additive to improve impact strength of engineering thermoplastics (PPS, PBT, PET) and PC/PBT, PC/PET and PC/ABS alloys. Lotader® AX8900 can be used as a compatibiliser for polyesters/polyolefins blends and in some formulated adhesive tapes.
