This book is a must-have for manufacturers of impact modifiers, manufacturers of products containing impact modifiers, regulating bodies, academia, and research laboratories. The databook contains information, which is complete, timely, up-to-date, and useful in numerous fields of application and for thousands of manufacturers and products. 

Impact modifiers are particularly recommended to improve mechanical and other properties, such as tensile, impact, flexural, stress whitening, stiffness, toughness, fracture behavior, etc., but they also influence adhesion, biodegradability, flammability, optical properties, thermal stability, and other properties of high-performance thermoplastic, polymer blends, and thermoset formulations.

The Databook of Impact Modifiers is more useful in combination with the Handbook of Impact Modifiers. Both books do not overlap but complement each other.

The information on over 300 impact modifiers is presented in individual tables for each product (either commercial or generic). The data are divided into 5 groups, including General Information, Physical Properties, Health & Safety, Ecological Properties, and Use & Performance. The following information is included in each Section if available in the source(s) of data.
