Arkema introduces Clearstrength® XT 151 toughener, an innovative, high-performance product designed primarily to boost the performance of thermosetting resins without compromising processability.
This easyto- use powder provides long-lasting durability, excellent dispersion for better performance, higher production capabilities, lower energy and production costs, and much more.
“Using Arkema’s unique and patented technology,
Clearstrength® XT powder is the exception to the rule when it comes to core/shell tougheners,” said Alexandre Vermogen, global marketing manager for Plastic Additives, Arkema.
“The new Clearstrength® XT 151 toughener was designed primarily for epoxy formulators to enhance the durability and performance of thermosetting resins while also providing excellent processability.”
Clearstrength® XT 151 toughener is a Methylmethacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene (MBS)
core shell toughening agent. Its unique chemistry and patented technology is optimized for even the most demanding epoxy applications. It offers a range of benefits:
• Tailored for epoxy thermosetting resins,
• Optimized to the most demanding applications,
• Matching low temperature requirements (toughening, elongation, lapshear) without affecting glass transition temperature (Tg),
• Reduced viscosity influence at high concentration,
• Easy to use and extended shelf life.
