POLYMERS OF THE MOWITAL® G SERIES ARE AMORPHOUS THERMOPLASTIC
POLYMERS WHICH ARE PROVIDED AS GRANULES WITH LOW RESIDUAL
WATER CONTENT (<0.5 WEIGHT-%).
Mowital G grades have excellent melting behavior and can be used in
injection moulding, melt blowing, thermoforming and standard extru-
sion procedures. Due to the granular shape Mowital G can easily be
used in all kinds of feeding systems.
Moreover Mowital G granules allow dust-free application, are non-toxic
and comply with most of the common regulations for food packaging.
Due to their advanced structure consisting of polyvinyl butyral, poly-
vinyl acetate, and polyvinyl alcohol units, Mowital G grades exhibit
excellent adhesion to glass, metals, wood, ceramics, etc.
They are soluble in many organic solvents and exhibit excellent
fi lm-forming properties and may be combined with a wide range of
other polymers.
Mowital G grades are ideal both as a binding agents as well as disper-
sants. It predestine them for successful use as dispersing agent for
masterbatches or the colouring of polymers. The chemical structure
provides a semipolar character of Mowital G enabling the usage as a
compatibiliser for colour pigments, inorganic fi llers, like metal oxide
or metal particles as well as carbon black. Mowital G is colourless,
transparent, and lightfast. These properties make them the preferred
polymer for colour-neutral formulations with high colour-purity.
Mowital G grades can be burned out without residue. Hence they are
suitable as a temporary binder for e.g. powder-injection moulding
processes.
Since Mowital G is compatible with various plastics, such as PMMA, PA,
PVC, ABS, or TPU, it is especially valuable for applications in master-
batch formulations. Beside this, Mowital G grades can be used as ad-
ditives for thermoplastic compounds and thermoplastic elastomers as
adhesion promoter, e.g. for bonding of polymeric compounds to glass,
metals and ceramic substrates.
Free OH-groups of the polymer derived from the polyvinyl alcohol units
enable cross-linking reactions with e.g. epoxies, phenolics, isocyanates
leading to modifi ed, elasticised thermoset materials or modifi ed bind-
ers based on a polyvinyl butyral scaffold.
Characteristic physical properties like solvent viscosities, melt fl ow
indices (MFI), glass transition temperatures (Tg), and softening tem-
peratures of the Mowital G types are mainly determined by increasing
degree of polymerization and molecular weight:
Glass transition temperatures (Tg) between 63 °C and 84 °C are meas-
ured for the individual types.
The softening temperature ranges start with the low-viscous types at
about 125 °C and ends with the higher viscous grades at approximately
235 °C giving melt fl ow indices (190 °C, 2.16 kg [g/10 min.]) from
85 for low-viscous grades down to approximately 1 of higher-viscous
grades. This correlates to solvent viscosities (10 weight-% in ethanol
[mPas]) ranging from 20 to 1000 mPas.
Polymers of the Mowital G series consists of polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl
acetate, and polyvinyl alcohol units. The polyvinyl butyral units and
the backbone determine the unpolar character whereas the polyninyl
acetate and polyvinylalcohol units determine the polar character of
the polymer. Besides this, the free OH-groups enable cross-linking re-
actions with other reactive chemicals or resins.
Mowital G grades exhibit E-moduli ranging from 2300 to 2600 N/mm²,
yield stress values from 40 to 60 N/mm² depending on the degree of
polymerisation with elongation values ranging from 0.5 to 4 %.
Charpy Impact Test values range from 0.5 to 5 kJ/m² (notched) and
10 – 98 kJ (not notched). Under Vicat B test conditions Mowital G poly-
mers exhibit Vicat softening temperatures from 62 – 66°C and Shore D
values of 83 – 85.
