Dow’s PARALOID™ MBS Impact Modifiers

The Role Of Impact Modifiers 

Why DOW Paraloid™ MBS Impact Modifiers?

1. Contributes To Toughness and Durability

DOW PARALOID™ MBS impact modifiers significantly improve the impact strength of PVC resin. This is crucial for pharmaceutical packaging, which often undergoes mechanical stresses during production, transportation, and end use.  

2. Maintained Optical Clarity

One of the standout features of DOW PARALOID™ MBS additives is their ability to enhance toughness without compromising the optical clarity of PVC. This is particularly important for pharmaceutical applications where product visibility and aesthetics are critical.  

3. Chemical Resistance

Pharmaceutical packaging materials must resist various chemicals and solvents. PARALOID™ additives maintain the inherent chemical resistance of PVC, ensuring the integrity and safety of the packaged products.  

4. Low Temperature Performance

Packaging materials often need to withstand low temperatures during storage and transportation. Impact additives enhance the low-temperature impact performance of PVC, ensuring that the packaging remains robust and intact, even in cold environments.

5. Processing Efficiency

These impact modifiers are designed to integrate seamlessly into standard PVC processing methods. They offer excellent compatibility with PVC and other additives, resulting in efficient manufacturing processes and consistent product quality.
