2. What are the grades that can be used as flexibilizers for Polymide 6 and 6,6?
   
   

   Lotader® 3210 and Lotader® 3410.

   
   
   
3. What grades are used as compatibilizers?
   
   

   For Polyolefins and Polyamide blends: For Polyolefins and Polyesters: For Polyolefins and Styrenics: For PC/PBT blends:

   Lotader® 3410 Resin, Lotader® Resin 3210 Lotader® AX8900 Resin, Lotader® AX8840 Resin Lotryl™ 24MA005 Resin, Lotryl™ 29MA03 Resin Lotader® AX8900 Resin

   
   
   
4. What factors determine the cold temperature properties of Arkema’s Functional Polyolefins?
   
   
   • The flexibility and the impact strength at low temperature increases with higher amounts of comonomer (methyl, ethyl, or butyl acrylate; vinyl acetate) content.
     
   • The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the specific acrylate present in the Lotader^® Resin or Lotryl^® Resin also influences the low temperature properties. Butyl acrylate has a lower Tg than methyl acrylate or ethyl acrylate and therefore has better cold temperature properties:

   Tg (G’‘)
   	Methyl acrylate: -30°C
   	Ethyl acrylate: -35°C
   	Butyl acrylate: -45°C

   
   
   
5. What is the heat stability of Arkema’s Functional Polyolefins?
   
   The acrylate based products (Lotader^® Resins, Lotryl™ Resins) are heat stable up to 300°C
   Evatane^® Resins are heat stable up to 250°C
