ProductsImpact and toughness modification

Opaque Impact Modifier Granule

A direct-add impact modifier for colored or opaque plastic systems where toughness, low-temperature durability and processing balance take priority over optical clarity. It can be used in virgin or recycled formulations across common molding routes.

Selection Notes

  • Start around 2-6% and compare impact, stiffness and appearance after trial molding.
  • Suitable for compounding, injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, film or sheet trials depending on the resin system.
  • Share base resin, target performance, part thickness and process route before final grade selection.
  • Use TDS/SDS and small-batch testing to confirm dosage, appearance and final performance before mass production.
Performance and testing notice

Confirm performance in the actual formulation and process

Actual results may vary with resin grade, material condition, formulation, dosage, part thickness, material and mold temperature, equipment, processing parameters, humidity, storage and test environment. Published values and application descriptions are selection references, not unconditional guarantees. Review the current TDS / SDS and complete application-specific testing before production approval.
