Impact modifiers can be defined as those substances that enhance the durability of extruded or molded plastics. It usually includes those plastics upon which forces such as cold weather consistently act. These modifiers make the product rigid and safeguard them from wrapping or sagging during the product’s everyday application.

Moreover, impact modifiers offer the product optical and tensile strength, processability, weatherability, heat distortion, and flammability. They may vary depending on the product in which they are added, such as precipitated calcium carbonate for PVC.
Moreover, impact modifiers are majorly used for construction, packaging, automotive, and consumer goods. These are widely utilized in plastic resins for packaging as well as films such as rigid containers, and technical films. Their application may require addition of an elastomeric or rubbery component in nature, that absorbs or dissipates the energy.

The growing demand for convenience food products led by lifestyle and alternative eating habits has increased the demand for food packaging, which in turn, resulted in a significant rise in the sales of the impact modifiers.

ABS resins perform at a level between engineering plastics, such as commodity materials, and polycarbonate, such as polystyrene. The major applications of ABS include consumer electronics, garden equipment, appliances, and computer and printer housings.

Craze Propagation: The craze propagation principles are based on dispersing impact modifiers into the brittle matrix, resulting in a dampening phase that is sufficient enough for energy absorption to prevent craze propagation.

Cavitation: It is required to formulate shear bands around the elastomeric particle that absorbs the deformation energy. It includes the dampening particle cavitation that absorbs the energy. Most of the energy is absorbed by shear bands’ apparition.

The major companies operating in the industry are Kaneka Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Arkema S.A., Lanxess A.G., and others.

Therefore, the rising usage of impact modifiers to improve the strength and durability of plastics for everyday usage results in increased sales.
