Tech guide Asaflex
Revised June30, 2004*

Asaflex™ blends with GPPS or SC provide superior impact strength,
which can be further enhanced by adding Tufprene™.

Impact strength of extruded sheets from Asaflex™ blends - Asaflex™/GPPS and Asaflex™/SC
Impact strength generally increases with increasing Asaflex™ content. Higher transparency is generally obtained with the Asaflex™/SC blends.
Transparency comparison


Small additions of Tufprene™ 125 further increase the impact strength, as shown here for blends containing 50 wt% Asaflex™. Again, higher transparency is obtained with SC than with GPPS.
