- Product Highlights
By adding DIACARNA™30M to glass fiber reinforced polyamide (PA/GF), Molded products with excellent toughness, rigidity, and appearance (less discoloration) can be obtained.
- DIACARNA™30M works as a bio-filler dispersing agent when added to polyolefins.
- Improved dispersibility of bio-fillers in polyolefins leads to improve the appearance of molded articles and maintain the mechanical properties.
- The utilization of bio-filler also contribute to SDGs
- The higher amount of the maleic anhydride group improves dispersibility relative to conventional maleic anhydride grafted polyolefins.
- Bio fillers such as cellulose, wood flour and used coffee grinds can also be dispersed.
- The reactivity of the maleic anhydride group allows DIACARNA™30M to function as a chain extender and polymer end cap for PAs.
- Having both polar and non-polar groups within the molecule structure, DIACARNA™30M can function as compatibilizer between polar and non-polar matrix.
- Its outstanding resistance to thermal degradation makes it especially well-suited for high temperature applications such as engineering plastics processing.
