POLYIMILEX™ POLYIMILEX™

Basic Information

POLYIMILEX™ is a newly developed maleimide-copolymer that is made using maleimide (IMILEX™-P), which Nippon Shokubai was the first in the world to commercialize. POLYIMILEX™ is non-toxic and when melted and kneaded with various thermoplastic resins, it can effectively improve heat resistance. POLYIMILEX™ has great potential in a wide range of applications as a new material for polymer alloys.
POLYIMILEX™ is also distinctive for having very few impurities, because it uses maleimide that is purified by distillation as a raw material.
