Biostrength 280 impact modifier
The high-efficiency, clear Biostrength 280 impact modifier imparts toughness to polyactic acid (PLA) biopolymers while maintaining polymer clarity. This is achieved by incorporating a small amount of the modifier into PLA during extrusion, transforming the sheet from brittle to ductile.

Plastistrength 810 (P810) polymeric process aid
The Plastistrength 810 (P810) polymeric process aid was designed to address some of the key technical issues encountered with engineering plastic compositions, such as those based on polycarbonate (PC) and styrenic matrices (e.g., acrylonitrile butadiene styrene [ABS]). Low loadings of P810 allow fast extrusion throughput owing to a strong antisticking performance without any significant impact on melt viscosity. This additive could be substituted for any of the organic fatty esters currently used as mold-release agents. P810 also maximizes the dispersion of other additives, such as color pigments, and stabilizes the matrix morphology thanks to its high molecular weight entanglement mechanism. Furthermore, it reduces the anisotropy phenomenon and improves the impact strength retention of the finished part in abusive thermal environments.

Kynar Flex Resin Series for the CPI - Technical Brochure
A chemical resistance table in this publication details the performance of Kynar Flex polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resin when it comes into contact with corrosive chemicals of various concentrations and at various temperatures. Another table specifies the mechanical and physical properties of different Kynar grades, including specific gravity, melting point, tensile strength, elongation, tensile modulus, flexural modulus, izod impact strength, heat deflection temperature, and hardness.
