Detailed Product Description
ACR DM-335 is a new high performance acrylic PVC impact modifier developed
by the &D center of our company in 2003. This new generation weather-
resistant impact modifier, which has a structure of butyl acrylate core and
methyl methacrylate shell, is the graft copolymer of the two monomers. With
the strictly controlled particle size, Tg of the core, and the coordination of a
third component in the shell, DM-335 is produced to effectively improve the
impact resistance and weatherability of PVC.
DM-335 is developed not only to enhance product performances, but also to
overcome the disadvantage which our former impact modifier DM-235 and
DM-236 bring to the fabrication process of PVC. Although certain intrinsic
property of DM-235 and DM-236 as a processing aid has adequately utilized
the properties of ACR impact modifier and simplified the blending procedure of
end users, such as 7 parts in the formulation affords approximately the same
process ability as 9 parts of CPE and 2 parts of ACR DP-401 do, it restricts the
adjustment of the formulations.
DM-335 is designed to decrease extra process ability and thus facilitates the
formulation design, because end users could adjust the amount of ACR
processing aid to achieve the satisfying process ability when DM-335 is adopted
to replace CPE or MBS. The main benefits DM-335 brings to PVC products are
high weatherability, high impact resistance, and fine process ability, together
with good surface gloss, high weld strength and low temperature retraction.

Testing method:
PVC compounds of the formulation ratio were dry-blended in a homomixer and
were discharged for cooling when the blending temperature reached 120°C.
The resulting composite was further dry-blended with given amounts of
processing aids to afford a series of blends, of which the processing rheologic
property and mechanical property were tested.
All the composites and blends were respectively melt-blended in a two-roller
mill at 180°C for 3 minutes to give sheets, which were compression-molded
at 180°C and 15MPa for 3 minutes on a curing press to form test pieces. The
tensile strength of the test pieces were evaluated according to GB/T1040. The
notched-bar impact testing was performed on impact testing machine with
simple beam at 15°C and stretch test was performed on electronic universal
stretch tester at 15°C
