Impact Modifiers for Polymers

Major Applications of Impact Modifiers

Adding impact modifiers in polymers makes them less likely to crack, break, or damage when exposed to impact. Their unique properties make them suitable to be used in various polymers. These include PE, PA, ABS, etc.

Impact modifiers can also be incorporated into a variety of end-use applications. These range from construction materials to toys and medical to sports equipments and much more. Get to know abut how they help in making the end products impact-resistant in detail.

Overview

Key Applications

  • Automotive parts — Impact modifiers are used in several automotive parts. They make them more resistant to impact. For example, bumpers and dashboards. This protects the vehicle and the passengers in the event of a collision.

  • Consumer electronics — Impact modifiers are used in cell phones, laptops, and other consumer electronics making them more resistant to drops and bumps. This helps to prevent the devices from breaking and losing data.

  • Appliances — Impact modifiers are used to make appliances like refrigerators and stoves that make them more resistant to impacts. This helps to prevent the appliances from breaking and causing damage to property.

  • Toys — Impact modifiers are used to make toys more resistant to being dropped and thrown. This helps to prevent the toys from breaking and causing injuries to children.

  • Construction materials — Impact modifiers are used to make pipes and panels more resistant to impact. This helps to prevent the materials from breaking and causing damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Additionally, impact modifiers are also used in a variety of other products. These include sporting goods, medical devices, and packaging.
