Amorphous Polyolefins (APO) and amorphous copolymers of propylene have a long history of successful use by the adhesives and plastics industries.
The benefits of APO in the adhesives, caulks, and sealant industry include excellent tack, high filler tolerance, broad compatibilities, and ease of compounding at relatively low cost. These same benefits are obtained at low concentrations (usually <10% by weight) in plastic and elastomer compounding applications.
Thermoplastic Elastomer (shoe soles) -Lower Mooney viscosity, lower mixing energy, improved leather adhesion
Synthetic Rubber Processing, EPDM, Butyl, SBR, Santoprene Copolymer, Neoprene-Improved processing, better flow properties, increased tack, plasticizing effect
Filled Polypropylene Composites-Improved filler dispersion, less molding pressure needed
Color concentrates-Improved pigment dispersion, less mixing energy
Stretch Wrap-Increased film tack |
