Arkema Inc. (King of Prussia, Pa., U.S.) introduces Clearstrength XT 151 toughener, a high-performance product designed primarily to boost the performance of thermosetting resins without compromising processability. This easy-to-use powder is said to provide long-lasting durability, improved dispersion for better performance, higher production capabilities, lower energy and production costs, and more.

Clearstrength XT 151 toughener is a methylmethacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) core shell toughening agent. Its chemistry and patented technology is tailored for the most demanding epoxy applications, Arkema contends. Additional benefits include its ability to match low temperature requirements (toughening, elongation, lapshear) without affecting glass transition temperature (Tg), reduced viscosity influence at high concentration, easy use and extended shelf life
