4 INTRODUCTION SMA multifunctional resins are a family of low molecular weight resins which include styrene/maleic anhydride, amic acids, imides, copolymer base resins, partial esters of the base resins and aqueous ammonia salt solutions of the base resins and ester resins. SMA resins are used in diverse applications such as paper sizing, powder coating, pigment dispersions, inks, over print varnishes, leather retanning, microelectronics fabrication and processing, carpet/textile cleaners and floor care products. SMA resins can function as polymeric surfactants in dispersing and emulsifying applications, as high functionality cross-linking agents or as chemical intermediates in the production of specialty polymers. SMA resins are well known for their high functionality, high thermal properties, low viscosities of high solids, and as their salts, aqueous solutions, low color, and low VOC content. 4

5 Cray Valley s Styrene Maleic Anhydride Resins Base Resins SMA 1000, SMA 2000 and SMA 3000 resins are unmodified styrene/maleic anhydride copolymers with styrene/maleic anhydride ratios of 1/1, 2/1 and 3/ 1, respectively. SMA EF-30, EF-40, EF-60 and EF- 80 are 3/1, 4/1, 6/1 and 8/1 styrene/maleic anhydride copolymers which are manufactured for uniform reactivity and certified for extremely high purity. SMA 1000, 2000, 3000 and EF-30are available in flake (F) or powder (P) form, while SMA EF-40, EF-60 and EF-80 are available only as flake. SMA base resins are characterized by high glass transition temperatures and softening points, high thermal stability, extremely low VOC content, high melt viscosities, high solubility in a number of organic solvents and the ability to form low viscosity aqueous alkali salt solutions at basic ph. The anhydride functionality in SMA base resins is much less reactive towards atmospheric moisture up-take and hydrolysis than is a typical non-polymeric anhydride.

The ester resins contain a combination of anhydride and mono-ester/ mono carboxylic acid functionality. There are five commercial grades of SMA ester resins: SMA 1440, 17352, 2625, 3840 and SMA and 2625 are available in flake or powder form, while SMA 1440, 3840 and are available only in flake form. The ester resins differ by the base resin used to prepare the ester, the structure of the esterifying alcohol and extent of esterification. The SMA ester resins exhibit many of the desirable characteristics shown by the SMA base resin. In addition, the SMA ester resins exhibit generally low melt viscosities, reactivity typical of the carboxylic acid functionality, improved solubility in many organic solvents and refined polymeric surfactant properties, including generally better compatibility with other polymeric and nonpolymeric surfactants.

6 SMA Resin Aqueous Ammonia Salt Solutions SMA 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 1440, 2625 and are available as hydrolyzed (H) grades, which are aqueous solutions of the SMA resin ammonia salts. This form of SMA resin is particularly well suited for use in preparing water-based formulations. SMA H grade products are true solutions, with high clarity and excellent freeze/thaw stabilities. They are stable at basic ph (>8), and, in general, exhibit lower solution viscosities at higher ph. SMA H grade products are infinitely miscible in water, and are stable in the presence of many other polymeric and non-polymeric surfactants. SMA Resin Aqueous Sodium Salt Solutions SMA 1000, 3000 and 4000HNa are available as hydrolyzed HNa or HK grades, which are aqueous solutions of the SMA resin sodium or potassium salts. These forms of SMA resins are particularly well suited for use in preparing water-based formulations. SMA HNa and HK grades are true solutions, with high clarity and excellent freeze/thaw stabilities. They are stable at basic ph (>10), and, in general, exhibit lower solution viscosities at higher ph. SMA HNa and HK grades are infinitely miscible in water, and are stable in the presence of many other polymeric and nonpolymeric surfactants. Properties of SMA 1000 Amic Acid Product Appearance ph % Solids 25 o C, cps M w SMA 1000MA Clear light golden solution ,500 SMA 1000 Amic Acid SMA 1000MA is a low molecular weight styrenemaleic anhydride amic acid resin which exhibits a unique combination of properties. This product is supplied as a high solids, low viscosity water solution with a neutral ph, low ionic character and very low VOC content. It functions as a very efficient polymeric surfactant in variety of applications, including forming stable, low-tarnish metallic pigment dispersions and inks. SMA Imides SMA Imide Resins are low molecular weight copolymers of styrene and dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) maleimide. These products have a high level of tertiary amine functionality, have high thermal stability, low VOC content and form high solids solutions in organic solvents or, as their cationic salts, in water. SMA Imide Resins can function as polyimide or polyamine additives, serving as a crosslinking agent, curing catalyst or surface modifying agent. Typical use areas include alkali resistant coatings, adhesives and polymer modification. SMA Imide Resins easily form cationic salts which can perform a variety of functions in water-based applications, serving as a cationic dispersants or emulsifying agents or as a flocculating or coagulating agent. Typical use areas include paper manufacture and surface sizing, pigment dispersions, inks, overprint varnishes and water treatment. 6

12 Reactions of SMA Resins Substitution The pendant aromatic groups in SMA 1000, 2000, 3000, EF-30, EF-40, EF-60 and EF-80 resins will undergo substitution reactions typical of aromatic systems. Sulfonation can be conducted in commercial reactors by reaction of the base resin and sulfur trioxide (or other suitable sulfonation reagent) in an inert solvent (typically a halogenated solvent). The number of aromatic groups sulfonated can be controlled, in part, by reaction conditions. The resultant sodium or potassium sulfonates have surface active properties and have applications such as dispersants for oil drilling products. Esterification Alcohols will react with base resins (SMA 1000, 2000, 3000, EF-30, EF-40, EF-60 or EF-80) to form monoesters by ring opening of the anhydride groups. Esterification can be performed in commercial reactors by charging the base resin and appropriate alcohol to the reactor and heating with agitation under inert atmosphere. Typical reaction conditions are 160 to 200ºC for 30 to 90 minutes. For esterification greater than 50%, or formation of diester groups, water must be removed and a catalyst is generally needed to increase reaction rate. A number of functional groups including halogen, amine and unsaturated groups have been introduced by means of esterification of base resins with appropriate functionalized alcohols. Reactants with hydroxyl functionality greater than 1 will cross-link SMA base resins. For example, primary diols, such as 1, 4-butanediol, will react with SMA 1000 resin at room temperature, in 1 to 3 days (the reaction will take place faster at elevated temperatures). Imidization Amines will react with base resins and with partial ester resins to form amides. Imidization can be performed in commercial reactors using the SMA resins, a nonreacting diluent and the desired amine. Typical reaction conditions are 150 to 180ºC for 2 to 3 hours. Water that is formed during the reaction must be removed to affect complete imidization. The resultant styrene/n-substituted maleimide polymers generally have higher thermal stability and higher melting ranges. Solubilizing In Water Strong or weak bases will react with the anhydride or carboxylic acid functionality of SMA resins to form water-soluble salts. Ammoniacal solutions containing styrene/ammonium maleate polymers are readily prepared with ammonium hydroxide. Solutions of styrene/sodium maleate polymers are produced when aqueous sodium hydroxide is used. Amines, such as morpholine or triethanolamine, can also be used to prepare water-soluble salts. While a number of grades of SMA ammonia salt solutions (H grade), sodium salt solutions (HNa grade) and potassium salt solutions (HK) are commercially offered, SMA resin solutions can also be prepared from the solid resins. For example, SMA resins are readily soluble in aqueous ammonia. Solids content can be varied over a wide range. Solution viscosities are influenced by the styrene to maleic anhydride ratio, the alcohol employed to prepare the partial ester and the degree of esterification. Ammoniacal solution viscosities increase with an increase in the styrene to maleic anhydride ratio. A general procedure for preparing 15% solutions is as follows (Please refer to our technical bulletin Solubilizing SMA Resin for a more detailed procedure.): - Charge vessel with water and add SMA resins while maintaining vigorous agitation. - Slowly add ammonium hydroxide; a slight exotherm will occur. - Heat to suggested reaction temperature and maintain temperature and agitation until solution is complete. 12
