Arkema Introduced Clearstrength® XT 151

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.     Source
