Lucofin® 1492M

Lucofin® 1492M is a chemically modified polyethylene, i.e. EBA grafted with maleic anhydride (MA).

Lucofin® 1492M can be used pure or combined with other polymers where improved polarity is required.

Product advantages

• easy processing on standard processing equipment

• polarity and adhesion to various materials

• good compatibility and filler acceptance

• good mechanical properties

• environmentally sound

Applications
Due to the maleic anhydride content this grade offers excellent adhesion to polar materials and can be used - possibly in combination with Lucofin® 1400HN or Lucofin® 1400MN - to

• provide high filler loading, such as ATH (Aluminum tri hydrate) and MDH (Magnesium di hydrate) in HFFR compounds

• flexibilize and toughen (impact modification) otherwise brittle plastics (PA, PA/ABS, PBT, PET), including scrap/recycled material

• modify melt viscosity and therefore improve processability for PA

• compatibilize dissimilar polymer compounds, such as PA/PE and PE/PS

• improve bonding and strength in

• wood-plastic composite WPC, such as PE, PP/ wood flour

• polymer/fiber (glass fiber, natural fiber, long fiber, short fiber) compounds such as PP/long glass fibre

• in multilayer films/structures to act as a tie layer between dissimilar materials, such as polyolefins, PE copolymers, ionomers, polyamides, EVOH, polyesters, polycarbonates and aluminium ,e. g.:

• PE / Lucofin® 1492M / PA

• PE / Lucofin® 1492M / PET

• PE / Lucofin® 1492M / EVOH
