Impact Modifiers

Impact modifiers are specialized polymer additives designed to enhance the toughness and impact resistance of brittle plastics and polymer blends. They improve a material’s ability to absorb and dissipate energy during sudden impact, helping to prevent cracking, chipping, or shattering, particularly under low-temperature or high-stress conditions.

Key Benefits:

• Increases impact strength and toughness of plastics

• Reduces brittleness, cracking, and fracture under mechanical stress

• Enhances low-temperature performance and durability

• Compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics and polymer blends

Typical Applications:

• Polycarbonate, ABS, PVC, and other engineering plastics

• Automotive components and housings

• Consumer goods and electronic enclosures

• Pipes, sheets, and profiles requiring improved impact resistance

• Polymer composites and blends
