LOTADER® AX8930

LOTADER® AX8930 is a random ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer. 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 provides reactivity (versus OH, COOH and NH₂ groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics. As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® AX8930 is compatible with LDPE in all proportions, and with almost all other ethylene copolymers. LOTADER® AX8930 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® AX8930 can be used as a compatibiliser for polyesters/polyolefins blends and in some formulated adhesive tapes.

Processing Information

Heat stability of acrylate comonomer allows processing temperatures as high as for polyesters (PBT, PET) and PPS.

CAUTION:

  • LOTADER® AX8930 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 extrusion.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • LOTADER® AX8930 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® AX8930 shows some caking. This is particularly true during summer time.
  • Three years from the date of delivery, in unopened packaging.
