XIRAN® Heatboosters

High Heat ABS


Heatboosting efficiency XIRAN® in ABS
Polyscope offers a broad portfolio of styrene
maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers,
compounds, aqueous solutions and styrene
maleic anhydride N-phenylmaleimide
(SMANPMI) terpolymers.

Our XIRAN® Heatboosters offers a solution for a wide range


of engineering plastics such as ABS, PMMA, PLA and PVC.
Increased thermal resistance offers solutions in processing
temperatures and opens up windows in applications areas
where higher temperature resistance is required. These
neat resins are available under the brand names XIRAN®
SZ and XIRAN® IZ.
Flow behavior XIRAN®
XIRAN® heat performance efficiency in ABS
High heat performance (Tg, Vicat and HDT) shows a
linear increase with the amount of XIRAN® in the
final ABS compound. The XIRAN® IZ product range is
especially designed to offer optimized solutions in ABS
blends.

Influence of XIRAN® on flow properties in ABS


In ABS compounds, the melt index increases with the
addition of XIRAN® resulting in improved flow and
processing. The improved flow properties offer opportunities
for complex structures in designing moulds.
