The present invention relates to thermoplastic compositions comprising as impact modifier a rubber containing graft polymer prepared by the process of emulsion polymerization and recovered by a special process controlling and adjusting the pH value, the use of the thermoplastic compositions in the production of molded bodies, and to the molded, bodies themselves. The present invention relates also to thermoplastic compositions comprising a polymeric impact modifier with a core-shell structure made by a multistage process and recovered by a special process controlling and adjusting the pH value comprising at least one gradient polymer the use of the thermoplastic compositions in the production of molded bodies, and to the molded, bodies themselves.

Impact modified thermoplastic composition

The present invention relates to new impact modifiers and a process for making these new impact modifiers and their use in polymeric compositions. More particularly the present invention relates to a new polymeric impact modifier with a core-shell structure made by a multistage polymerization process comprising at least one gradient polymer. The present invention relates as well to a process preparing such an impact modifier, especially its recovery process after the end of the polymerization. The present invention also relates to a thermoplastic composition comprising the new impact modifier.

Core shell particle multistage polymer powder, its manufacturing process

The present invention relates to a process for producing impact modifiers, impact modified thermoplastic molding compositions and in particular impact modified polycarbonate or polycarbonate/polyester blends having improved resistance to degradation. More particularly the present invention relates to a process for producing polymeric impact modifiers with a core-shell structure made by a multistage process comprising a control and adjustment if necessary of the pH value before and during the recovery step.
