OREVAC® 18343

OREVAC® 18343 is a maleic anhydride grafted linear low-density polyethylene. OREVAC® 18343 has been designed to develop a reliable bonding strength between polyethylene or ethylene copolymers and mineral fillers such as aluminum trihydrate (ATH) or magnesium hydroxide (MDH). It is an effective coupling agent for halogen- free flame retardant (HFFR) compounds using high loadings of mineral fillers, such as compounds for insulation and sheathing of wires and cables.
