Polymeric Modifiers
Polymeric modifiers are polymer-based additives that are incorporated into a polymer, resin, or composite material to improve or alter its properties. They help materials achieve specific performance requirements such as better toughness, flexibility, compatibility, durability, or processability.
Why are polymeric modifiers used?
Most base polymers do not naturally possess all the properties needed for a particular application. Polymeric modifiers are added to:
Increase impact resistance and toughness
Improve flexibility
Enhance thermal and weather resistance
Improve processing and flow behavior
Increase compatibility between different polymers
Improve adhesion between polymers and fillers/reinforcements
