Product Description
Blendex® 983 is a 32% polybutyl acrylate rubber grafted weatherable ASA modifier resin.
Provides excellent impact, heat distortion and weatherability properties.
Maintains polymer properties in UV and thermal environments.
Toughens compatible rigid polymers without additional impact modification.
Expands the use temperature window of compounds.
Offers compatibility with many polar polymers.
Improve UV resistance when blend with less stable polymers.
Blendex® 983 is well suited to produce good weatherability in rigid polymer applications.
Can be effectively alloyed with PVC and other miscible thermoplastics in molded, extruded or calendered applications to provide improved heat distortion and impact strength.
It can run at high rates in conventional siding equipment when blended 50/50 with PVC.
