Surface Modifiers

Based on 1064 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Surface modifiers are additives that enhance the surface properties of plastics, typically appearing as fine powders or liquids. These modifiers function by altering the surface characteristics to improve adhesion, hydrophobicity, or scratch resistance. Key features include enhanced durability, improved aesthetic appeal, and increased functionality. Main applications are in automotive parts, consumer goods, and packaging. 

Alternatives to surface modifiers include coatings and treatments. Sub-types include anti-fog additives, antistatic agents, and scratch-resistant additives.
