Compatibilizers

A compatibilizer is an additive used to improve the interfacial adhesion between two immiscible or partially miscible polymers in a physical mixture (blending). By optimizing the dispersion of the blend morphology in a more homogenous way with a compatibilizer, the performance of the compound increases by improving the mechanical properties.

Reactive compatibilizing agents

Our Yparex reactive compatibilizing agents, often based on maleic anhydride grafted polymers, play a key role in modifying the interface between dissimilar materials. These additives promote better dispersion, enhance adhesion, and ultimately result in a more uniform and stable blend between a variety of polymers and polyolefins.

Applications of Yparex compatibilizers

Yparex resins are used across a wide array of applications. From film applications to reduce gel and limit surface tension, to injection moulding, where they improve impact strength and resistance. Yparex has compatibilizers that are ideal for polymer blending, PE/PA and PP/PA recyclates, masterbatches and pigments – or as an impact modifier in Polyamide 6.

Compatibilizers for plastic recycling

Compatibilizers play a crucial role in plastic recycling, where the combination of different polymer types can otherwise lead to poor mechanical properties and phase separation. Our solutions deliver measurable performance improvements when working with recycled post-consumer materials.
