Ricon® 131MA17

Ricon® 131MA17 by Cray Valley (TotalEnergies) is polybutadiene functionalized with maleic anhydride. It is a low vinyl polymer additive. Its varying carbon chain length between functional groups provides for varying sealant and hardness. It functional groups are added which can react with epoxy, amines and hydroxyls. Has low molecular weight and liquid nature which allow 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® 131MA17 can be used in place of or in addition to anhydrides typically used in anhydride based epoxy systems.
