Clearstrength® W300

Clearstrength® W300 is a core-shell acrylic specialty copolymer designed to impart impact strength, weathering resistance and optical properties to vinyl formulations. Combining the weathering resistance of acrylic impact modifiers (AIM) and the optical properties of methylmethacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) impact modifiers, Clearstrength® W300 impact modifier is the preferred choice for durable PVC products where clarity or colour rendering is important.
