LOTADER® 4700T

LOTADER® 4700T is a random ethylene - ethyl acrylate - maleic anhydride terpolymer. LOTADER® 4700T resins: Acrylic ester brings softness and polarity, while keeping high thermal stability during processing. The high content of acrylic ester leads to high flexibility (low-cristallinity) and high impact absorption behaviour. Maleic anhydride gives reactivity (towards OH and NH2 groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics (mainly polyamides). LOTADER® 4700T is suitable as modifier to improve the impact strength of polyamides (PA6,PA66, PA12 etc.). Its high processability allows to dry blend Lotader 4700T with polyamide and process it by direct injection molding. It can also be used as a compatibilizer for polyamides and polyolefins blends.

Processing Information

Heat stability of acrylate comonomers allows processing temperatures as high as for polyamides. However, to minimize the generation of gels, it is recommended to purge the equipment with LDPE after a run is completed. LOTADER® 4700T is not corrosive.

Other Hazards
Processing may release vapors and/or fumes which cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation, Effects due to processing releases or residual monomer: Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Possible cross sensitization with other acrylates and methacrylates. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause: headache, drowsiness, nausea, weakness, (severity of effects depends on extent of exposure).
