Aria Couple 1732 (ABS-g-MA)
Aria couple 1732 is a maleic anhydride modified Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) (ABS Compatibilizer or Maleated ABS) . It has been primarily designed to act as a compatibilizer in ABS compounds such as ABS/GF, ABS/PC, ABS/PA and ABS/PET to achieve good mechanical properties. As a suitable compatibilizer, Aria couple 1732 has a significant effect on the notched Izod impact strength of the alloys and also has a slight effect on the other properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and vicat softening temperature.
ABS is a common thermoplastic polymer comprised of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene.
The notched Izod impact strength is one of the most important properties for rigid polymers such as the ABS/PC blend because of their notch sensitivity. Aria couple 1732 (Maleated ABS) is a good compatibilizer and tremendously improves the impact strength of the ABS/PC blend.
- The impact strength of the ABS/PC blend can be greatly enhanced by addition of small amount of Aria couple 1732;
- The flexural strength of ABS/PC modified by Aria couple 1732 is vividly higher than that of the only ABS/PC blend at a given PC content.
- The tensile strength of ABS/PC modified by Aria couple 1732 and non-modified ABS/PC blends are almost the same at a given PC content, which implies that Aria couple 1732 has no negative impact effect on the tensile strength.
