Ricon® 131MA20

Ricon® 131MA20 by Cray Valley (TotalEnergies) is maleinized polybutadiene. Its varying carbon chain length between functional groups provides for varying sealant and hardness. In Ricon® 131MA20 functional groups are added which can react with epoxy, amines and hydroxyls. Has high performance and liquid nature which allows easy mixing. Its polybutadiene backbone improves the moisture resistance of the final product. The anhydride functional groups allows for adhesion improvement as well as compatibilization of polar and non-polar materials. Ricon® 131MA20 can be used in place of or in addition to anhydrides typically used in anhydride based epoxy systems and also in applications like coagent, low temperature tackifier and non-extractable process aid.
