Metabolix Mirelâ„¢ I6001 Biobased Polymeric Modifier

I6001 is an effective multifunctional, >85% biobased polymeric modifier for semi-rigid and flexible PVC compounds. It improves impact resistance, tear resistance, tensile toughness and plasticization, while not compromising clarity or UV stability. It also promotes shear melting and faster fusion giving processing advantages over traditional core-shell impact modifiers. This multifunctional modifier allows the overall formulation to be simplified and the additives package to be cost effectively rebalanced. This product is ideal for applications requiring very low migration, extraction and VOC formation for applications in the automotive, medical, packaging and construction industries.
