Product Uses

Durastrength® 350 impact modifier is ideally suited for vinyl window profile, siding, fencing, decking, pipe, and conduit. The low melt viscosity and rapid fusion characteristics of Durastrength® 350 impact modifier are also ideal for difficult injection molding applications.

Durastrength® 350 impact modifier is recommended for use in tin, lead, and mixed-metal stabilized profile applications where enhanced room and cold-temperature impact resistance is required. As with all impact modifiers for PVC, proper formulation is required to develop the proper shear and mixing during extrusion so that impact properties are optimized.
