CPE – Chlorinated Polyethylene
Rigid grade chlorinated polyethylene impact modifiers (CPE) products produced with unique practices to provide superior performance at competitive pricing. Traditionally, chlorinated polyethylene impact modifiers are used in non-weatherable applications.
In some instances, CPE can serve the dual function of a process aid as well as an impact modifier. Multiple chlorinated polyethylene impact modifier products are available, some with extremely high elongation for niche applications.
MBS – Methyl Methacrylate Butadiene Styrene Polymer
Methyl Methacrylate Butadiene Styrene polymer (MBS) impact modifiers, provide superb cold temperature impacts for extrusion, injection molding and calendering. Due to its composition, a MBS impact modifier is used in non-weatherable applications. Both clear and opaque versions of MBS impact modifiers are available.
