Yparex 42160

Yparex 42160 polymer resin is a maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene copolymer, produced by reactive extrusion. It has been primarily designed to add polarity to polypropylene matrices. Its very high content of maleic anhydride allows its use at low treat levels while maintaining optimum application properties.

Key features of Yparex 42160

  • Act as a coupling agent between reinforcing materials, such as mineral fillers, and polypropylene
  • Achieve compatibility in polypropylene/polyamide alloys
  • Achieve compatibility between polyolefins and more polar polymers that can interact with maleic anhydride for alloying, recycling or co-extrusion purposes
  • Improve polypropylene-to-metal adhesion properties
  • Improve impact properties of compatibilized materials

Storage and handling

Comprehensive material safety data sheets are provided to recommend safe practices during usage. For easy handling and storage, this grade is supplied as f ree-flowing pellets normally packed in 20 kg bags (65 bags per pallet) or 500 kg boxes. Please store Yparex under dry conditions in the original packaging, protected from UV light. In practice, the shelf-life will often be longer.
