Features Of BASF Joncryl ADR 4385 Chain Extender

  1. Multi-functional epoxy-based chain extender enabling efficient molecular weight build-up in reactive polymer systems.

  2. Excellent compatibility with polyesters, polyacrylates, and acrylic dispersions without phase separation.

  3. Enables low-temperature curing and improves melt viscosity control during extrusion or compounding.

  4. Reduces gel content and enhances long-term storage stability of reactive resins and waterborne coatings.

  5. Non-volatile, low-odor formulation supporting sustainable manufacturing and VOC-compliant formulations.

Typical Applications Of BASF Joncryl ADR 4385 Chain Extender

  1. Waterborne acrylic and polyester dispersions for industrial coatings.

  2. Reactive hot-melt adhesives requiring enhanced cohesive strength and heat resistance.

  3. Recycled PET (rPET) and mixed-polymer blends to restore melt strength and processability.

  4. UV-curable and hybrid coating systems where post-crosslinking reinforcement is critical.

  5. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations requiring improved tensile properties and elasticity retention.
