Eco-metric Performance:

Expanding the Boundaries of Compounds

With High Toughness, High Flow Impact

Copolymers

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
