Lotader® AX8900

Generic Family: Ethylene Acrylic Ester Terpolymer • Supplied by: Arkema
LOTADER® AX8900 is a random terpolymer of ethylene, acrylic ester and glycidyl methacrylate, polymerized by high-pressure autoclave process.
  • Acrylic ester brings softness and polarity, while keeping high thermal stability during processing.
  • The high content of acrylic ester leads to high flexibility (low cristallinity) and high impact absorption behaviour.
  • Glycidyl methacrylate gives reactivity (versus OH, COOH and NH 2 groups), leading to optimal dispersion during melt mixing with engineering thermoplastics.
  • As an ethylene copolymer, LOTADER® AX8900 is compatible with LDPE in all proportions, and with almost all other ethylene copolymers.
  • LOTADER® AX8900 exhibits good adhesion on PET, PBT, PPS, metal, paper, and glass.

Applications
Due to its properties, LOTADER® AX8900 is suitable as additive (toughener) to improve the impact strength of engineering thermoplastics like polyesters (PBT, PET), PC/PBT and PC/ABS alloys, PPS. It can also be use as a compatibilizer for polyesters/polyolefins blends and in some formulated adhesive tapes. For more detailed information and recommendations regarding your specific application, please contact your local ARKEMA technical representative.
