Reactive modification of polymers

By using siloxanes with functional groups such as acryloxy, aminoalkyl, carboxyl, polyester or hydroxyalkyl siloxanes can be incorporated permanently into suitable polymers such as PA, PET, PBT, TPE ot TPU. The modification of polymers by siloxane segments enhances several characteristics like impact resistance, elasticity and hydrophobicity. This opens new performance profiles for different polymer types.
