Patent number: 6780907Abstract: A means to improve thermoplastic formulations in terms of the physical properties they exhibit, such as impact strength and ductility, have been developed. The addition of a block chlorinated polyolefin (b-CPO) to polymer blends in which at least one component comprises a halogen-free hydrogen-bond acceptor polymer, achieves the desired enhancement. The synergetic effect of the b-CPO with the selected polymer blend is demonstrated. Blends of thermoplastic polyurethanes, polycarbonates, copolyesters and copolyamides with a blend partner such as thermoplastic polyolefins, styrenic copolymers such as styrene acrylonitrile copolymers, styrene ethylene butylene styrene copolymers, high rubber graft copolymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymers, methylmethacrylate butadiene styrene copolymers and the b-CPO have enhanced ductility and impact resistance.
