Reworkability – HIPS/PP/Tuftec™ P2000
The Asahi Kasei Chemicals modifiers, with their composition of two or more different polymer blocks, generally impart good reworkability to polymer compounds.
The Tuftec™ series, in particular, provides outstanding reworkability, as shown here by the virtual absence of formulation deterioration with Tuftec™ P2000.
