Ricon® 156MA17

Maleinized polybutadiene. In Ricon® 156MA17 functional groups are added which can react with epoxy, amines and hydroxyls. Its ability to react with these materials allows for the creation of unique sealants. Has high performance and liquid nature which allows easy mixing. Its polybutadiene backbone improves the moisture resistance of the final product and the predominant unsaturation in the vinyl position in the backbone allows for increased crosslinking in peroxide systems. The anhydride functional groups allows for adhesion improvement as well as compatibilization of polar and non-polar materials. It can be used in place of or in addition to anhydrides typically used in anhydride based epoxy systems and also in applications like low temperature tackifier, non-extractable process aid and coagent.
