Dow Chemical introduces new acrylic polymers and impact modifiers

Dow Plastic Additives, a business unit of Dow Chemical (Dow), recently launched ACRYLIGARDTM CS-132 acrylic weather-strengthening resin (capstock) polymer and PARALOIDTM EXL-2690 impact modifier
.

ACRYLIGARDTM CS-132 is a high-quality capstock polymer that can be applied alone as a pure resin or mixed with PVC or PMMA in composites for applications such as door and window profiles, roof tiles, shelf roofs, fence fences, foam wall panels and profile siding assemblies
in electrical and electronic products processed using coextrusion technology 。 As an excellent alternative, ACRYLIGARDTM CS-132 overcomes several of the pitfalls common in traditional vinyl, ASA resins and PMMA solutions to deliver superior color retention, high-gloss finish, weatherability and impact strength
.
ACRYLIGARDTM CS-132 has high compatibility when mixed with PVC or PMMA, creating better cost-effectiveness
for customers in the building materials market.

PARALOIDTM EXL-2690 Impact Modifier is a methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene resin (MBS) copolymer with a typical core-shell structure
.
When used with polycarbonate (PC) and polycarbonate blends such as PC/ABS and PC/PBT, this product exhibits excellent compatibility and provides excellent toughness
while maintaining a good modulus of flexion.
PARALOIDTM EXL-2690 Impact Modifier features a specially designed rubber core with glass transition temperatures as low as -80°C, thus guaranteeing excellent impact resistance at low temperatures
