Overview
PARALOID™ TMS-2672 is a patented MBS core-shell impact modifier designed to enhance the mechanical performance of thermosetting adhesives, especially epoxy and methyl methacrylate (MMA) systems. PARALOID™ TMS-2672 improves impact resistance, elongation at break, and fatigue strength while maintaining low viscosity and lightweight properties. This grade disperses quickly and uniformly in liquid-curable resins, making it ideal for structural adhesives used in demanding applications across automotive, aerospace, electronics, and marine industries.

FAQs
Is PARALOID™ TMS-2672 easy to disperse in liquid epoxy resins?
Yes. PARALOID™ TMS-2672 was designed to readily disperse in liquid epoxy resins as its core shell rubber technology supports uniform dispersion in epoxy systems.
Can PARALOID™ TMS-2672 be used at low loading levels?
Yes. PARALOID™ TMS-2672 can deliver improvements in toughness at relatively low loading levels, allowing formulators to enhance performance without significantly increasing viscosity or altering the formulation balance.
Does PARALOID™ TMS-2672 affect curing behavior in epoxy systems?
No. PARALOID™ TMS-2672 was formulated to retain key epoxy properties, including thermal performance and glass transition temperature, while improving toughness.
How does PARALOID™ TMS-2672 affect glass transition temperature (Tg) in epoxies?
PARALOID™ TMS-2672 was designed to improve epoxy toughness while retaining the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the cured system. The core shell rubber technology enhances toughness and fatigue resistance without significantly reducing Tg or thermal performance, unlike some traditional rubber tougheners.
