Polyphenylene Ether

Kraton® polymers are compatible and effective impact modifiers for Polyphenylene ether (PPE). As in the case for styrenics, the higher molecular weight styrenic block copolymers are more efficient in toughening PPE. Kraton D1184, D1101, and D1102 compounds can be used to impact modify PPE. Caution should be taken to avoid degradation when processing these grades at higher temperatures. If weatherability is important or limiting degradation during processing is critical; G1651, G1654, G1650, G1652, G1701, and G1702 are recommended.
