Addcomp PRIEX® 15005 Maleic Anhydride modified LDPE

Functionalised low density polyethylene to be used as compatibiliser for polymer blends or coupling agent for wood flour, natural fibres, or mineral filled polyolefins. Also suitable to reduce pigment-related warpage effects in polyolefins.Examples: Cable compounds, organic monopigment preparations and wood flour filled polymer composites (WPC’s).Mode of action and advantages: PRIEX® 15005 is a polyethylene, grafted with an extra high content of maleic anhydride. The grafted maleic anhydride introduces polarity to the polymer achieving compatibility between polyolefins and more polar polymers like EVOH.Advantages: Excellent mechanical properties, good cost / performance; Ultra low smell, low VOC and emissions; Excellent coupling agent for natural fiber reinforced polymer composites or wood flour reinforced polymer composites; Free flowing pellets; and Safe and easy handling.Food contact: PRIEX® 15005 composition meets the requirements of Commission Directive 2002/72/EC and further amendments.Information provided by ADDCOMP
