Overview
PARALOID™ EXL impact modifier additives from the Dow Chemical Company increase the ductility of injection moldings, lower temperature toughness, and reduce melt viscosity for engineering resins. PARALOID™ EXL 3300’s core-shell structure and acrylic compositions improve impact strength with only a minor change in other mechanical and physical properties. With versatile polymer compatibility with various engineering resins, PARALOID™ EXL 3300 improves impact properties for thermoset resins, such as epoxy.
Features & Benefits
- High impact strength
- Excellent processability
- Weatherability
- Well-defined particle size for outstanding dispersion
- Low dosage requirements
- Maintains good retention of part rigidity for various conversion processes
- Helps improve the melt flow retention for use in engineering resins
Problems Solved
Insufficient impact strength and weatherability resistance in polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyethylene terephthalate systems
Processing and handling difficulties of powder form impact modifiers and performance additives
Applications
PARALOID™ EXL 3330 modifier can be used where the focus is on weatherability and not low-temperature impact strength. Examples include automotive and electric vehicle under-the-hood applications, electric and electronic connectors, lawn mowers and tractors' body panels, thermoset molding compounds and adhesives, and upgrading the impact performance of recycled resins. PARALOID™ EXL 3300 also offers excellent properties for CPET packaging applications.
