Request SampleImpact Modifiers are additives used in rigid and semi-rigid PVC formulations to improve impact strength, toughness, durability, and resistance to cracking or breakage. Common types include Acrylic (AIM), MBS (Methacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene), and CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene). The choice depends on the required impact strength, transparency, weatherability, and application.
Applications
1. PVC Pipes Fittings
Improves impact resistance and toughness of PVC pipes
Helps prevent cracking and breakage during handling and installation
Used in pressure pipes, drainage pipes, and pipe fittings
2. PVC Profiles Window Profiles
Used in doors, windows, frames, and architectural profiles
Improves impact strength and durability
Acrylic grades provide good weatherability and surface gloss for outdoor profiles
3. PVC Sheets Boards
Used in rigid PVC sheets and boards
Improves resistance to impact and mechanical stress
Helps produce stronger and more durable sheets
4. PVC Films Packaging
Used in PVC films, sheets, bottles, and packaging materials
MBS grades are particularly suitable where high impact strength and transparency are required
5. PVC Siding Cladding
Improves toughness and resistance to external mechanical impact
Helps increase durability of outdoor PVC products
Acrylic and CPE grades can be used where weather resistance is important
6. PVC Furniture Decorative Products
Used in furniture sheets, panels, edge bands, and decorative PVC products
Improves durability and resistance to cracking
