Crosslinkers for improving polymer performance

Nexam focuses on developing and supplying a range of unique heat activated crosslinking chemicals (containing alkynyl/ethynyl groups) for different polymers and processing requirements, such as for polyimides, polyamides (PA66, PA11, PA12, PPA), polyesters (PET, PBT), polyolefins (PP, PE), PEEK, epoxies and phenolics. Nexam enables customers to increase the performance of their materials to the ultimate benefit of end-customers, whilst being able to use their existing equipment and processes.

Polymers are improved in several ways:
- Reduced water uptake
- Improved chemical resistance
- Improved mechanical, thermal and electrical properties

Nexam supplies the polyimides industry with a full range of end-cappers/crosslinkers, with curing temperatures from 70-440 degrees C. The product range includes:
NEXIMID^® 100 (PEPA), NEXIMID^® 200 (EPA), NEXIMID^® 300 (PETA), NEXIMID^® 400 (EBPA) and NEXIMID^® 500 (MEPA). For more product information go to “Brands/Products”.
