ABSTRACT

IMPACT-MODIFIED POLYAMIDE COMPOSITIONS

Described herein are polyamide compositions and processes for producing polyamide
compositions, comprising: (i) a polyamide, (ii) an olefin-maleic anhydride copolymer (on its
5 own or in a master batch form), and (iii) an impact modifier (or an elastomeric polymer with
an optional compatibilizer), which exhibit enhanced ambient and low temperature impact
strength complimented by excellent thermal, tensile and flexural properties.
