Polyscope highlights uniqueness of its XIRAN SMA Copolymer as excellent polymer modifier

摘要

POLYSCOPE Polymers highlighted the benefits that can be obtained by the use of readily available XIRAN SMA copolymers as a modifier in thermoplastic polymers in a recent benchmark analysis of heat boosters.Because XIRAN SMA has a high glass transition temperature it is able to significantly boost performance and value of various virgin and recycled resins, particularly acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Available in a broad range of molecular weights and maleic anhydride (MA) contents, XIRAN can improve thermal stability to widen the application window, make parts easier to bond, paint or print on at a cost significantly below that of several other additives and proprietary polymer modification techniques. The material can also act as excellent compatibilizer between resins that are normally immiscible, such as PA/ABS.
