Yparex PE 1040

Yparex PE 1040 (formerly known as Exxelor PE 1040) polymer resin is a maleic anhydride functionalized high density polyethylene, produced by reactive extrusion. It has been primarily designed to act as a coupling agent in filled polyethylene compounds, or as a tie layer in multilayer.

Yparex PE 1040 is designed for:

  • Function as a coupling agent between reinforcing materials such as natural and mineral fillers and high density polyethylene to improve mechanical properties.
  • Achieve compatibility and adhesion between high density polyethylene and polyamide.

Key features of Yparex PE 1040 coupling agent and compatibilizer

Performance enhancements in natural and mineral-filled:

  • Improved mechanical properties.
  • Improved notched Izod and Charpy impact strength.
  • Reduced water absorption.

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 free-flowing pellets normally packed in 25 kg bags (50 bags per pallet), 450 kg octabins or 1 ton supersacks.

Processing statement

Yparex PE 1040 resin can be added to high density polyethylene to achieve optimum dispersion with the natural or mineral filler system and result in the best performance. Compounding parameters that can lead to optimized performance include extruder type, screw design, barrel temperature, screw speed, throughput, residence time and material feeding sequence.
Our experienced technical service engineers and chemists are always on hand to help you in achieving the best performance from your processing and compounding operations.
