Notes:
Some of the additives used in plastics formulations, such as flame retardants, fillers, heat distortion temperature modifiers, and pigments, can have a detrimental effect on the impact resistance of the material. Impact modifiers can sometimes be used to “correct” for the detrimental effects of these additives by boosting the impact performance of the material. The functions of core/shell impact modifiers in improving impact resistance are described. Some general guidelines for selecting impact modifier products are discussed.
