LOTADER® AX8750T

LOTADER® AX8750T is a random Ethylene-Butyl Acrylate - Glycidyl Methacrylate terpolymer (E-BA-GMA). 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 gives reactivity (versus OH, COOH and NH₂ groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics. As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® AX8750T is compatible with LDPE in all proportions, and with most of ethylene copolymers. LOTADER® AX8750T is suitable as an additive to improve impact strength of engineering thermoplastics (PPS, PBT, PET) and PC/PBT, PC/PET and PC/ABS alloys. LOTADER® AX8750T can be used as a compatibilizer for polyesters/polyolefins blends, as bitumen performance enhancer and adhesion promoter onto metallic surface.

Processing Information

Heat stability of acrylate comonomer allows processing temperatures as high as for polyesters (PBT, PET) and PPS, which are the main material using LOTADER® AX8750T as impact modifier.

CAUTION:

  • LOTADER® AX8750T reacts with polymers containing maleic anhydride and acid. This reaction may generate gels or can block an extruder if not controlled. Extruders must be thoroughly purged before and after extruding LOTADER® AX8750T.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • LOTADER® AX8750T should be stored in dry conditions and be kept out of moisture in an aerated building. Improper storage conditions may cause degradation and could have consequences on physical properties of the product.
  • Due to its physical properties (Vicat temperature <40°C), it may be possible that the LOTADER® AX8750T shows some caking. This is particularly true during summer time.
  • Three years from the date of delivery, in unopened packaging.

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).
