Transparent Impact Modifier Granule

This transparent impact modifier family covers TDS-listed evaluation routes for selected PP, PC, SAN/AS, PMMA and PET grades. Each granule grade can be blended with its specified base resin for extrusion, injection molding or blow-molding trials. Choose by resin and target property, then compare toughness and optical appearance against a matched control.

Product Overview

Direct-add impact-modifier granules for grade-specific toughness trials in transparent resin applications, with optical appearance checked alongside impact performance.

TDS-backed grade selection

Select a transparent impact modifier by resin

Start with the base resin, then compare impact response and optical appearance under the same processing and test conditions.

These are model-specific TDS references, not a family-wide compatibility, clarity or dosage guarantee. A-868 lists transparency retention for PET but provides no haze or transmittance value; confirm the result in the actual formulation.

Applicable Materials

  • PP
  • PC
  • SAN
  • AS
  • PMMA
  • PET

Typical Applications

  • Selected transparent PP, PC, SAN/AS, PMMA and PET formulations using the applicable grade
  • Extrusion, injection-molding and blow-molding trials with an optical-appearance target
  • Parts where impact and clarity must be evaluated together

Key Benefits

  • Provides direct-blending routes for TDS-listed resin and grade combinations
  • Supports grade-specific impact and elongation trials without treating clarity as guaranteed
  • Keeps optical appearance part of the approval criteria

Selection Notes

  • Use the model-specific TDS dosage: A-8523 lists 4-6%; A-863, A-865, A-866 and A-868 list 2-4%.
  • Blend with the specified base resin and evaluate the molded result after at least 24 hours, as directed by the model TDS.
  • Confirm the resin grade, drying, part thickness, clarity and impact result before production approval.

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.
