Epoxidized polyolefin. (Materials).


Lotader AX8950 is an epoxy-containing terpolymer ter·pol·y·mer  
n.
A polymer that consists of three distinct monomers.



[Latin ter, thrice; see trei- in Indo-European roots + polymer.]
 additive that is said to offer higher fluidity and promote the adhesion of overmolding compounds and polyolefin foams to engineering plastics and metals, Lotader AX8950 terpolymer can also be used as a compatibilizer or an impact modifier (programming) modifier - An operation that alters the state of an object. Modifiers often have names that begin with "set" and corresponding selector functions whose names begin with "get".  for engineering plastics. Lotader AX8950 is said to exhibit high fluidity and good thermal processing stability. The product is said to be a good impact modifier for polyester systems, offering excellent flow characteristics, according to the company. It is said to provide good adhesion to polyamides and thermoplastic polyesters and metals like galvanized gal·va·nize  
tr.v. gal·va·nized, gal·va·niz·ing, gal·va·niz·es
1. To stimulate or shock with an electric current.

2.
 steel and aluminum. Its epoxide epoxide /epox·ide/ (e-pok´sid) an organic compound containing a reactive group resulting from the union of an oxygen atom with two other atoms, usually carbon, that are themselves joined together.  functional group can also be used in epoxy chemistry and should be of interest to epoxy resin manufacturers.
