Compounded Systems

While producing ABS compoounds, whether standard, recycled or filled, poor toughness can be encountered. Impact modification is a highly complex challenge for which one specific solution exists depending on the temperature required for general purpose strength performance. When added in ABS resins, Elvaloy® delivers higher impact resistance with lower loadings than conventional modifiers.

If you  need toughness in your polycarbonate blends, such as PC/ABS or PC/PBT, consider DuPont  impact modifiers.  Compared to other technologies, our polymer impact solutions offer:

• Better processability of the compound thanks to reduced melt viscosity
• Better UV and thermo stability
• Higher elongation
• Easier handling & processing due to pellet form instead of powder

Either in engineering polymer or cast sheet applications, polymeric impact modifiers offer a wide range of performance levels that allow tailored solutions to meet your unique needs.

• When compounding PBT engineering polymers, the challenge is increasing impact strength while maintaining original properties.  Among the wide range of offerings, Elvaloy® gives compounders a valuable new tool for tailoring the properties of PBT resins to the requirements of electrical and electronic connectors, as well as a wide range of other industrial and consumer products.
  
• Increasing productivity while achieving the right impact strength properties is a highly complex challenge when it comes to PET-based cast sheet applications.  The addition of Entira™ provides toughness enhancement of your parts for a wide range of thickness.

Polypropylene is a semicrystalline polymer exhibiting very attractive cost-performance balance and easy processability.  However, to fulfill some industry needs, PP requires improved impact resistance at ambient or low temperatures. Toughness improvement can be obtained with an impact modifier, Elvaloy®, at room or low temperatures.

Additional benefits:

• Enhanced the dispersion of pigments, glass-fibers or mineral loads
• Improved compatibility for PP alloys
