Clearstrength® C-223

Clearstrength® C-223 by Arkema is a methylmethacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) core-shell impact modifier. It is designed to meet the most demanding impact performances in injection molding, extrusion and calendering opaque applications. It provides good impact to polycarbonate, polyesters, and various polycarbonate blends especially PC/ABS.

• Due to its high rubber content, it offers high impact efficiency at room and low temperature, allowing dosage optimization and cost saving in formulation.
• It is easily dispersed in vinyl formulations assuring more consistent impact resistance and other physical properties.
• It can withstand severe processing conditions with minimal effect on heat stability and mechanical properties.
• Recommended for use in high quality technical films, edge-bands, CPVC pipes, fittings, furniture films and indoor profiles.
• It is also suitable for automotive applications, electrical and electronic components, household appliances and all PC & alloys parts where ease of processing, good low temperature impact and good balance of physical properties are important.
• Clearstrength® C-223 is used in formulations for food contact or drinking water conduction.
• Recommended dosage level is 2 to 20%.
