Yparex PO 1020

Yparex PO 1020 (formerly known as Exxelor PO 1020) polymer resin is a high performance maleic anhydride functionalized homopolypropylene, produced by reactive extrusion. It has been primarily designed to add polarity to polypropylene matrices and in particular to improve polypropylene reactivity with amino-silane treated glass reinforcements. Its high content of maleic anhydride allows its use at low treat levels while maintaining optimum application properties.

Yparex PO 1020 is designed to:

  • Function as a coupling agent between reinforcing materials, such as glass fibers and inorganic fillers, and polypropylene.
  • Achieve compatibility in polypropylene/polyamide alloys.
  • Achieve compatibility between polyolefins and more polar polymers that are capable of interacting with maleic anhydride for alloying, recycling or co-extrusion purposes.
  • Improve polypropylene-to-metal adhesion properties.

Key features of Yparex PO 1020

Performance enhancements in polyamide:

  • Improved cost/performance balance compared to earlier generation modifiers.
  • Easy molding of highly glass-filled compounds and/or complex and thin parts due to its high flow properties.
  • Outstanding unnotched Izod and Charpy impact performance.
  • Excellent notched Izod and Charpy impact resistance.
  • Improved tensile and flexural strength.
