Question: We are producing transparent PVC sheet. Recently one of our customers requires specific grades for outdoor applications. What kind impact modifier do you recommend?
Answer : For transparent PVC applications MBS core shell particules are generally used. However, the weatherability of this family of modifier is not as good than acrylic impact modifier. There are some special acrylic grades capable to combine transparency and excellent weatherability.
