TPE Grafted Maleic Anhydride is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that has been chemically modified by grafting maleic anhydride onto its polymer. This modification enhances the polymer’s polarity, making it more compatible with polar materials such as polyamides, polyesters, and metals. As a result, TPE-g-MA is widely used as a impact modifier in polymer blends and composites. It improves interfacial adhesion, mechanical strength, and dispersion of fillers or reinforcements, especially in automotive, packaging, and electrical applications.

A coupling agent (compatibilizer) is a material that enables the simultaneous utilization of the properties of two different polymers. These materials act like a bridge, connecting the particles of two otherwise incompatible polymers. Without a compatibilizer, these polymers would not mix properly. The main purposes of using a compatibilizer are to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of polymers, improve their colorability, and improve their thermal properties.
