New impact modifiers for PA6 an PA66 in low temperature applications

For the automotive, industrial, and household markets, Arkema has developed the new grade Lotader 2200, specifically suited to the manufacture of PA66 components requiring impact resistance at very low temperatures (e. g. rearview mirror, hubcap, handle, lawnmower body, etc.).

The company's Lotader acrylate-based ethylene terpolymers are used as impact modifiers in the processing of technical polymers such as PA, PET, PBT, and PC.

Furthermore, Arkema has developed Orevac IM300, a grafted polyolefin grade which can be used as an additive to impart impact resistance to PA6 components. According to the company, the product offers a good compromise between flexibility and resistance to impact and cracking at sub-zero temperatures.
