ISOBAM™ Water-soluble polymer
ISOBAM™ is an alkali, water-soluble copolymer made of isobutylene and maleic anhydride. The material has a white, powdery appearance and offers outstanding properties, such as hardness and heat resistance that conventional water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose derivatives have not yet achieved. ISOBAM™ reacts with chemicals such as sodium hydrate, ammonia and amine, and can be used as an aqueous solution. An important field of application for ISOBAM™ is metal processing, where it is used as a forging lubricant. With excellent water resistance and tackiness, it can also be used as an adhesive, in glass fibers, as a binder for ceramic powders, and in other applications.
