SCONA TPPL 5112 PA

SCONA TPPL 5112 PA is a high-performance polymer modifier based on a polylactic acid (PLA) functionalized with maleic anhydride. It acts as a coupling agent in filler- and fiber-reinforced polylactic acid compounds. SCONA TPPL 5112 PA is especially suitable for PLA compounds to which wood flour or natural fibers are added. The addition of the coupling agent leads to optimized fiber-matrix bonding and therefore improves the mechanical properties and the processability of the composite material. SCONA TPPL 5112 PA increases compatibility and ensures an even distribution of the blend components. This results in an improvement of the mechanical and optical properties of the material. SCONA TPPL 5112 PA is an outstanding compatibilizer for polymer blends made of polylactic acid and other polymers, including some bio-based polymers such as polybutylene succinate (PBS) or polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT).
