High Performance Toughening Agent Tailored for Low Polar Methacrylic Resins
- Methylmethacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene (MBS) core shell
- Tailored for low polar methacrylic resins
- Optimized to the most demanding electronic and additive applications
- Performance without effect on glass transition temperature
Applications & Uses
- Adhesive & Sealant End Applications
- Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
- Product Uses
- Clearstrength® XT152 is particularly recommended to increase the toughness and flexibility of low polar / hydrophobic resins such as those used in structural adhesives and electronic and composite applications.
- Clearstrength® XT152 is a unique toughening solution that does not affect thermomechanical properties (glass transition temperature).
- Loading levels depend on final application and associated technical performance requirements.
- Dispersion Information
- Clearstrength® XT152 powder can be dispersed in liquid monomers preferably with a medium shear mixer at room temperature.
- Dilution of high core-shell content preparation can be achieved with standard anchor blade homogenization.
- Clearstrength® XT152 powder can also be dispersed via melt extrusion or shear incorporation process.
Enhancing compatibility reaching dispersion at the individual core-shell in low polar/ hydrophobic methacrylic systems.
