FUSABOND® is Dow’s line of functional grafted polymers used as compatibilizers or coupling agents in polyolefins and engineering plastics. With PE or PP backbones grafted with functional groups such as MAH, they enhance compatibility and adhesion with polar materials. They are widely used to improve the performance of wood–plastic composites (WPC) and wire & cable (W&C). The products are produced from ethylene–acrylic acid copolymers modified through MAH grafting.
Features
