Applications of N-Phenylmaleimide
1. Heat-Resistant Modifier for ABS and Other Plastics
N-PMI significantly improves the heat distortion temperature (HDT) of ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) by increasing rigidity and thermal resistance without sacrificing impact strength. Ideal for automotive interiors, electronics housings, and appliance parts.
2. Monomer for High-Performance Polymers
It acts as a reactive monomer in polymerizations for polyimides, bismaleimides, and copolymers, enhancing thermal, chemical, and oxidative resistance.
3. Crosslinking Agent
Due to its maleimide functionality, NPMI enables crosslinking in styrenic and vinyl polymers, leading to stronger, more heat-stable network structures.
4. Electronics & Semiconductor Materials
Used in resin systems for encapsulants, prepregs, and adhesives where high heat resistance, dimensional stability, and low dielectric loss are critical.
5. Coatings and Adhesives
NPMI enhances adhesion strength and thermal stability in advanced coatings and industrial adhesives.
