Features Of BASF Joncryl ADR 4370F Chain Extender

  1. Highly efficient epoxy-functional chain extender for reactive modification of polyesters and polyacrylates.

  2. Enables significant molecular weight build-up without gelation, even at low addition levels (typically 0.1–0.5 wt%).

  3. Improves melt strength, melt viscosity, and thermo-mechanical stability in extrusion and compounding processes.

  4. Compatible with a broad range of thermoplastic polymers including recycled PET, PLA, and PBT.

  5. Supports circular economy goals by enhancing performance of post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins.

Typical Applications Of BASF Joncryl ADR 4370F Chain Extender

  1. Enhancement of recycled PET (rPET) for food-contact packaging films and bottles.

  2. Viscosity stabilization in biopolymer processing, especially polylactic acid (PLA) for thermoforming and blow molding.

  3. Molecular weight repair in engineering thermoplastics during reprocessing or multi-pass extrusion.

  4. Performance upgrading of polyacrylate-based adhesives and coatings requiring improved cohesive strength.

  5. Chain extension in polyester-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEE) to boost tensile properties and elasticity.
