greater impact resistance compared to standard polyamides. Selected formulations also reach a flexural modulus of up to 600 MPa and a tensile modulus of up to 700 MPa, delivering a combina- tion of rigidity and structural stability. “Compared to elastomer-modified materials based on short-chain polyamides such as PA 6, Xelamid ensures extremely low moisture absorp- tion, reduced density, and high impact resistance, delivering stable and reliable performance even at low temperatures,” said Alfio Agostini, Key Account Manager at Xenia.
Styrenic focus ELIX 158I from styrenics group Elix Polymers is an ABS-based impact modifier specifically developed to enhance the toughness of engineering plastics. Its morphology and phase distribution provides excellent performance at low temperatures, the company said, ensuring high impact resistance even under demanding conditions or stringent material specifications. A particularly valuable advantage is its effectiveness in formulations containing recycled content where it compensates for degradation or heterogeneity, restoring mechanical performance and enabling higher incorporation rates of recycled materials. As part of its long term sustainability strategy,
Elix Polymers also offers a growing range of compounds in the E Loop portfolio manufactured using certified circular and bio-based feedstocks, ensuring identical performance to virgin materials while contributing to a lower environmental footprint. All E Loop products are ISCC-Plus certified and follow the mass balance approach,

guaranteeing traceability and transparency throughout the value chain. By combining ad- vanced performance modifiers such as ELIX 158I with the sustainable E Loop product family, the company says it supports its customers in develop- ing innovative, robust, and environmentally responsible material solutions. Ineos Styrolution has introduced three new modifier grades, Styroflex PG77, Styrolux VSA, and Styrolux VSD, providing compounders with a structured method of fine-tuning properties within existing formulations. At the centre of this three- grade system is Styroflex PG77 which improves impact strength and flexibility while enhancing compatibility between polymers that typically do
