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 MAH, they enhance compatibility and adhesion with polar materials. They are widely used to improve wood–plastic composites (WPC) and wire & cable (W&C). The products are produced from ethylene–acrylic acid copolymers modified through MAH grafting.

FUSABOND® P613

Features

• PE-based resin grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH)

• Highly effective compatibilizer that improves bonding between PE and polar materials (e.g., wood flour, fillers)

• Provides good dispersion and reduces moisture absorption of wood or fillers

• Enhances mechanical strength and long-term durability of composites

Applications

• Wood–plastic composites (WPC): improved PE/wood compatibility and mechanical performance

• Wire & cable materials: stronger adhesion between PE and inorganic fillers

• Pipes and building materials: improved impact resistance and long-term weatherability
