Polyscope has announced the appointment of Maroon Group as a U.S. distributor for its Xiran styrene maleic anhydride copolymers (SMA) resins and aqueous solutions.
High-heat Resistance and Transparency in Xiran Copolymers
The main characteristics of Xiran copolymers are its transparent appearance, high heat resistance, high dimensional stability, and the specific reactivity of the anhydride group.
XIRAN neat resins and aqueous solutions are especially relevant where key maleic anhydride functionalities as improved adhesion and compatibility, cross-linkability, dispersibility and improved hydrophobicity are required.
The anhydride groups provide the freedom to chemically modify the polymer to steer to optimal performance for customers’ formulation.
Typical applications are:
- Coatings
- Adhesives
- Over print varnishes
- Gypsum-based construction products
- Key building block for pigment dispersants
