Markets

Markets overview

Polyscope is the global leader in research, product development, production and supply of styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers, compounds, aqueous solutions and styrene, maleic anhydride and N-phenylmaleimide (SMANPMI) terpolymers.

Adhesives

Styrene maleic anhydride copolymers are widely used in adhesive applications due to their inherent hydrophobicity and adjustability of the copolymer.

Appliances

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of appliances are reducing overall costs to gain or even defend market share.

Automotive

Polyscope Polymers offers an extended range of styrene maleic anhydride copolymers and SMA/ABS based compounds for automotive applications.

Building and Construction

One of the applications of XIRAN^® hydrolyzed solutions (XIRAN^® SL) is that of gypsum boards (wallboards). XIRAN^®’s ability to drastically imidize improves the hydrophobicity of the systems

Compounding

Polyscope offers a wide range of polymer additives for the compounding industry, we have devided our products in two product groups: XIRAN^® heatboosters and XIBOND™ Blend optimizers.

Electronics

Styrene maleic anhydride copolymers are suitable epoxy cross- linking agents (curing agents) which serve the needs of the electronics market.

Leather, detergents, and other

XIRAN^® styrene maleic anhydride resins are used as leather retanning agents where leather retanning is a good preparation before the upcoming stages (redyeing, fatliquoring and finishing).

Packaging

XIRAN^® copolymers offer improved thermal properties for a wide range of engineering plastics such as PMMA, ABS and PS; this opens a gate way for packaging industry where higher temperature profiles are needed.

Paper

The technology options for paper makers under XIRAN^® umbrella aimed at surface treatment are: XIRAN^® alkali salt solutions, XIRAN^® imide dispersions and XIRAN^® polymer emulsions.

Pigments, Inks and Coatings

In the pigment and ink industry, XIRAN^® grades are used as dispersants. In coatings, styrene provides the hardness of the coating while the presence of the polar maleic anhydride results into adhesion improvement to the substrate.

Orbiscope

Our goal is to inspire and assist you to push your application’s boundaries to the next level, utilizing styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers and/or their derivatives. Besides offering commercial and experimental SMA-based copolymers for your research needs, we also aim to support your development efforts.

3D printing

Together with Innofil3D, manufacturer of premium FDM 3D filaments, Polyscope has developed a PVA compatible ABS filament for 3D-printing: ABS Fusion⁺.
