Impact Modifier

Impact modifiers are added to polymers to increase their toughness and endurance. They can also enhance other qualities as heat distortion, weatherability, processability, optical and tensile properties, and flammability. Three types of impact modifiers can be distinguished: super toughness, low-temperature, and general-purpose impact modifications. Plastics can have impact modifiers applied by thermoforming, injection molding, calendering, or extrusion. The particular sort of impact modifier that is employed is determined by the plastic type, the intended end product qualities, and the processing technique.

Applications

Impact Modifiers are used in various industries, including:

  • Packaging materials
  • Automotive components
  • Consumer products
  • Industrial equipment
  • Construction materials

Benefits

  • Improved Impact Resistance
