LOTADER® AX 8820

LOTADER® AX 8820 is a random ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer. Glycidyl methacrylate provides reactivity (versus OH, COOH and NH₂ groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics. As an ethylene copolymer, it is compatible with LDPE in all proportions, and with almost all other ethylene copolymers. LOTADER® AX 8820 exhibits good adhesion on PET, PBT, PPS, metal, paper, glass. Due to its reactivity induced by the glycidyl methacrylate, it can be used as a compatibiliser for polyesters/polyolefins blends and as an adhesive for some laminate structures (polyolefins/polyesters, polyolefins/PPS etc.)

Processing Information
  • Heat stability of acrylate comonomer allows processing temperatures as high as for polyesters (PBT, PET) and PPS.
  • LOTADER® AX8820 reacts with polymers containing maleic anhydride and acid. This reaction may generate gels and can block an extruder if not controlled. Extruders must be thoroughly purged before and after extrusion.
