Maldene – Maleic Anhydride Butadiene Copolymers

Reactive maleic anhydride functionalised butadiene copolymers providing improved emulsification, suspension, adhesion and compatibilisation performance in polymer and industrial systems.
Names Maleic Anhydride Butadiene Copolymer | Reactive MABC

Product Overview

Maleic Anhydride Butadiene Copolymers are reactive copolymer additives incorporating maleic anhydride grafted onto a butadiene backbone. These grades are engineered to improve emulsification, suspension, adhesion and compatibilisation in a broad spectrum of industrial and polymer systems.

Maldene 287, Maldene 286 and Maldene 285 share similar functionality but can be selected based on specific formulation requirements. These copolymers enhance polarity in otherwise non-polar systems, aiding wetting of pigments and fillers, improving interfacial adhesion in composite polymers, and promoting stable dispersions in coatings and adhesive matrices.

By incorporating maleic anhydride functionality, these copolymers act as effective reactive compatibilisers, enhancing performance consistency, mechanical integration and overall product durability in formulated systems.
