Esschem Bio-plasticized / MMA Bead Polymers

Esschem incorporates sustainable plant-based plasticizers into methyl methacrylate MMA bead polymers. These innovative additives are designed to enhance the flexibility and workability of methacrylate-based polymers. By incorporating bio-plasticizers into MMA bead copolymers, the resulting materials exhibit increased flexibility and reduced glass transition temperature, melting points, and tensile strengths.The inclusion of higher molecular weight components contributes to stronger and more heat-resistant materials.Furthermore, the particle size plays a crucial role in surface properties, where smaller particles enhance adhesion while larger particles contribute to robustness and rigidity.
