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.
