- Applications
- Impact modifier for full range of unfilled polyamides for temperatures as low as -10 °C.
- Level of improvement obtained is a function of the OPTIM® E-132 addition level.
- Impact modifier for mineral & glass filled polyamides
- Adhesion promoter between metals, glass and engineering plastics with polyolefins.
- Processing Conditions
- OPTIM® E-132 can be added to Polyamides to achieve good dispersion of fillers within the polymer matrix thereby obtaining best properties.
- Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 290°C.
- At temperatures above 290°C, these specialty polymers can evolve low concentrations of fumes.
- If overheated, more extensive decomposition may occur due to exposure of overheated polymers to atmospheric oxygen.
- Adequate local ventilation should be provided to remove the fumes from the work area.
