ABSTRACT<br />
A new family of high performance impact modifiers has been developed to meet the increasing<br />
demands in <strong>TPO</strong> performance. The new impact modifiers have shown higher impact efficiency<br />
and recent testing has shown minimal impact on scratch and dimensional stability. Furthermore,<br />
these new products can be designed for bulk handling ability while maintaining high impact<br />
performance. The performance of this new class of impact modifiers will be discussed.
