Product Description
AMPLIFY™ GR 216 Functional Polymer is a maleic anhydride grafted (MAH) polymer. The base polymer is a polyolefin elastomer with high flexibility and elasticity.

Main Characteristics:
  • High elasticity with good elastic recovery
  • Excellent impact strength in blends with polyamide and other engineering resins
  • Maleic anhydride grafted elastomer
  • Polymer compatibilizer
  • Impact Modification
  • Adhesion promoter
  • Promotes adhesion between metal , polyolefins, cellulose, polyester, polycarbonate, glass and foil.
  • Useful to improve impact resistance of polyamides and other engineering resins.

Complies with:
  • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 175.105
  • EU, No 10/2011
Consult the regulations for complete details.
