Kaneka XMAP™ is a telechelic polyacrylate which can cure through three different routes, namely condensation, addition or radical curing process, depending on the requirements. As a raw material base polymer, Kaneka XMAP™ offers to the finished products excellent performance in weatherability, heat resistance, oil resistance, high gel percentage and low compression set. The excellent performance of the Kaneka XMAP™-based cured materials can be optimised for a variety of applications such as sealants, adhesives, coatings, gaskets and pottings.
Kaneka XMAP™ is made by a state-of-the-art living radical polymerisation technology, under which the polyacrylate polymer has a well-controlled structure, i.e. designed backbone, narrow polydispersity and high functionality.
Features of this polymer structure
- low polydispersity: PDI=1.1 - 1.6 (most of grades: 1.1 - 1.3)
- variety of molecular weight: Mn=5000 - 40000
- high end-functionality
- variety of main chain: homopolymers and copolymers of various acrylates
- entire polymer backbone consists of only carbon-carbon single bond and carbon silicon bond (except end-ester
group of type C&M)
