Description

Impact+ — Polymeric Impact Modifiers for Increasing Strength in Moulded Products

What Is Impact+ ?

Impact+ is a range of polymeric impact modifiers based on functionalized elastomeric polymers, produced through reactive extrusion. It is used to enhance the toughness, impact strength, and low-temperature ductility of engineering thermoplastics — particularly polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), and polyamide (nylon).

Industries We Serve

Thermoplastics such as PE, PA, PC/ABS, PBT, PET, and PC/PBT alloys are widely used in:

• Building materials
• Automotive
• Electrical
• Electronic industries

Significant segments of these markets require improved impact resistance — and that’s exactly where Impact+ is engineered to perform.

Why Impact+ Works

• Impact+ modifiers are based on functionalized elastomeric polymers produced through reactive extrusion. 
• Ethylene copolymers with high monomer content — and therefore good elastomeric behaviour — can be successfully used as impact modifiers.
• When dispersed properly in the polymer matrix, Impact+ delivers excellent performance in modifying:
  • Polyethylene (PE)
  • Polycarbonates (PC)
  • Polyamides (nylon / PA)
• Impact+ modifiers improve the overall toughness of polymers. Under optimal dispersion, the rubbery phase of the Impact+ modifier enhances impact strength and elongation.
• Enhanced Ductility at Low to Very Low Temperatures
  • At higher addition levels, Impact+ modifiers provide enhanced ductility in polyamide (nylon) blends at low temperatures — down to −40°C — while maintaining good heat resistance.
  • The inherently low glass transition temperature (Tg) of Impact+ modifiers provides enhanced ductility down to very low temperatures.
  • With optimal dispersion during compounding, the rubbery Impact+ phase acts as a stress concentrator, leading to excellent impact properties even in extreme conditions.

Recommended Dosage

For efficient reinforcement of the polymer matrix, Impact+ can be added at levels of:

0.5 to 5 PHR (Parts per Hundred Resin) — or higher, depending on the desired properties.

Your dosage should be tuned to the target impact strength, elongation, and low-temperature ductility your end-use requires.
