Blends combine two or more compatible polymers. The positive properties of the individual materials are combined with one another in order to produce the best result for any application. This method is almost as old as polymers engineering itself and continues to develop today. Advantages such as improved processability, increased dimensional stability under heat or reduced stress cracking are the goals of this polymer blend. The portfolio of blends comprises PC/ABS (polycarbonate/acrylonitrile/styrene-butadiene), PC/PBT (polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate), PPE/PS (polyphenylenether/polystyrene), PPE/PA (polyphenylenether/polyamide), PPE/PP (polyphenylenether/polypropylene), PC/polyester (polycarbonate/polyester blend) and PEI/silicon (polyetherimide/silicon).
