Dow PARALOID™ portfolio of impact modifier additives improves the overall appearance, temperature, and strength performance of engineered resins.
Over a dozen impact modifier additives are available to meet your specific formulation needs, from enhanced ductility to resin toughening for durable goods, outdoor equipment, high-performance sports commodities, electronics, and automobiles. PARALOID™ impact modifiers have been used with significant effect in improving impact strength for polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and epoxy.
WHY DOW PARALOID™ EXL IMPACT MODIFIERS:
Improved impact resistance and strength
Enhanced weatherability and low-temperature performance
Increased thermal stability
Enhances the deformation and the energy-absorbing processes of the resin
A core-shell acrylic impact modifier that is ideal for epoxy applications. Requires high impact strength at temperatures as low as -10°C and good heat and UV stability.
A specialty acrylic impact modifier that reacts with resin systems for significantly improved toughening; ideal for both weatherable and nonweatherable applications.
An acrylic core-shell modifier is ideal for various high-performance applications. Requires high impact strength at temperatures as low as -10°C, as well as good heat and UV stability.
An acrylic impact modifier ideal for a wide variety of engineering resin plastics. Requires good colorability and thermal stability, along with excellent impact performance.
