Ceramer Maleic anhydride functional polyolefin Baker Petrolite Rheology Modifiers / Thickeners ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt Olefin/Maleic Polymers -CERAMER® Polymers Baker Petrolite offers the CERAMER Polymer line of maleic anhydride functional polyolefins. CERAMER Polymers are formed by grafting maleic anhydride with ethylene or olefin based polymers, such as POLYWAX® Polyethylenes. The low molecular weight and maleic functionality of CERAMER Polymers display enhanced emulsification characteristics and improved compatibility with polymers containing oxygen functional groups. Significant characters of CERAMER® maleic functional polymers include: High degree of functionality Compatibilization for polar/non-polar blends Dispersible in water Reactive site for derivatives Long carbon backbone Compatible with hydrocarbons Solvent resistance in coatings Hard Wide range of available physical properties Formulating flexibility CERAMER Polymers are supplied by Baker Petrolite to enhance product performance in a number of areas, including: Improved performance from a variety of polish formulations Improved release properties in thermal transfer inks Application as an emulsifier and dispersing aid in specialty coatings and inks Enhanced mold-release properties in the plastics industry Viscosity modification and improved set-up time for specialty hot melt adhesives Maleic anhydride grafted ethylene or olefin based polymer. Used as a viscosity modifier for specialty hot melt adhesives. Possesses low molecular weight, enhanced emulsification characteristics and improved compatibility with polymers containing oxygen functional groups. Provides compatibility with polar/non-polar blends and hydrocarbons. Improves set-up time. Several grades.
