Baseline indicator of impact strength and transparency with several AK elastomers and Asaflex™
as modifiers in general-purpose and high-impact polystyrenes.

Impact Strength – Baseline Comparison
The optimum modifier selection will depend on the target product polymer and the required levels of
stiffness, transparency, moldability, and other characteristics.
