...iers when a low to moderate toughness level is required. They are not suitable for applications in which very high impact strength or low-temperature impact strength are required. For applications of this type, high-performance modifiers such as Fusabond MAH (maleic anhydride)-grafted polyolefins and polyolefin copolymers or Surlyn ionomers, both from DuPont, are the better option [1]. Using the modification of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) as an example, Fig.1 shows the relatively high effic...

...yer composites two layer composites were manufactured and their composite adhesion evaluated. To do without a separate coupling agent layer the polyolefin component (grade: PPT 1070 manufacturer: Targor GmbH) was mixed with a compatibiliser (grade: Fusabond MZ 203 D manufacturer: DuPont de Nemours GmbH). The second component was the same PA grade as in the three layer composites. Two versions with compatibiliser contents of 3.5 and 7 % of the total mass were studied. For addition of 3,5 mass % c...

...similar fibre types. PP maleic acid anhydride grafted co- polymers (MAPP) worked satisfactorily in improving the fibre PP matrix adhesion both with glass fibres and with cellulose fibres [6]. Therefore, as coupling agent a statistic MAPP (grade: Fusabond P MD-353D, manufacturer: DuPont) with a grafting degree of 1.4% and a melt-flow index of 50g/10min (190°C, 2,16kg) was used (manufacturer’s data), simply by addition of 3 wt.-% Fusabond P to the PP granulates. Pultrusion was used for product...

Products also recommended for enhancing polyamides contaminated with polyolefins are Fusabond P353 and Fusabond P613 (maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP) with varying degrees of grafting from DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers, Geneva, Switzerland) while polyesters can be enhanced with Elvaloy PTW (polyethylene-butyl acrylat...
