Eco-metric Performance:
Expanding the Boundaries of Compounds
With High Toughness, High Flow Impact
Copolymers
Braskem’s high toughness, high flow impact copolymers allow
producers to explore the production of compounds previously
unachievable. This evolution in Braskem’s portfolio aims to
provide a greater balance of process ability and toughness,
which adds tremendous versatility and flexibility for customers.
Benefits include:
• Improved toughness vs. traditional impact copolymers
for environments requiring very high impact resistance
• Enhanced properties at low viscosity for compounding
flexibility and performance
• Exceptional cold temperature impact resistance
• Very high toughness for improved flexibility in downstream
formulation development
