HOME INDUSTRIES IMPACT MODIFICATION Impact Modification As a leading global supplier of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), Elastron offers a wide range of TPE material options for impact modification of TPE compounds and other polymer blends including PP, HIPS, HDPE, ABS, PC and PA. Sustainability and recyclability are key trends in the plastics industry and Elastron impact modifiers can be particularly beneficial to the performance of recycled materials and recycled polymers including PCR, PIR, and biopolymers by providing the potential to improve impact resistance, elasticity, and mechanical properties across a broader temperature range. Some of the Elastron D series, G series and TPO series products are suitable for impact modification applications.
