Q1: What is the primary function of Solvay FM 400NA Adhesive in polymer systems?
A: Solvay FM 400NA Adhesive is a functionalized polyolefin-based adhesion promoter designed to enhance interfacial bonding between non-polar thermoplastics (such as PP and PE) and polar substrates—including metals, glass, engineering plastics, and filled composites—without requiring surface pretreatment.
Q2: Is Solvay FM 400NA Adhesive suitable for use in extrusion coating or co-extrusion applications?
A: Yes, it is specifically formulated for high-temperature melt processing. It demonstrates excellent thermal stability and compatibility in extrusion coating, co-extrusion, and injection molding processes where strong interlayer adhesion is required between dissimilar polymers or polymer-to-substrate layers.
Q3: How is Solvay FM 400NA Adhesive typically incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is commonly added directly to the polymer melt during compounding or extrusion, either as a masterbatch or neat resin. Dosage depends on formulation requirements and substrate combinations but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the base polymer.
Q4: Does Solvay FM 400NA Adhesive require primers or corona treatment for optimal performance?
A: While it significantly reduces or eliminates the need for surface activation methods, performance may still benefit from mild plasma or flame treatment on highly inert substrates—particularly when maximum bond strength or long-term durability under environmental stress is critical.
