Recycling of Polystyrene
IMPROVEMENT OF PROPERTIES
Mechanical properties
By introducing our MAXILOOP EMA7AB4820MOD, we can offer a sustainable solution to enhance the properties of recycled Polystyrene (rPS) without compromising on accelerated polymer aging.
With the addition of our EMA7AB4820MOD compatibilizer, the impact strength of rPS can be significantly improved. In comparison, the addition of SBS modifiers results in an increase in impact strength at the expense of reduced tensile strength. EMA7AB4820MOD increases both impact strength and tensile strength, making the rPS with our additive suitable for higher mechanical loads and a wide range of applications.
Degradation and Aging
Besides the increase in mechanical performance, our MAXILOOP EMA7AB4820MOD preserves the mechanical modifications, making the rPS less sensitive to degradation and aging.
This a major advantage of EMA7AB4820MOD towards conventionally used SBS Modifiers: Where SBS Modifiers, even during first and second processing step already act accelerating to degradation of rPS, our MAXILOOP Compatibilizer inhibits aging and degradation of the polymer.

Based on these advantages our MAXILOOP compatibilizer can support a wide range of applications of recycled polystyrene. By elevating the properties and quality of rPS to new levels, the use of higher recycled polymer content can be considered in more demanding applications.
With the MAXILOOP Compatibilizer Series Gabriel-Chemie can help you in your path towards a sustainable circularity.
