The plastics additives powder compositions of the present invention are
provided as powder particles having impact modifier particles and
processing aid particles which are coagulated and dried. When blended in
thermoplastic resins, such as PVC, the subject plastics additives powders
both increase the impact strength and improve process efficiency and melt
strength. The impact and processing properties achieved by the present
invention are more efficient than using separate impact modifier and
processing aid powders. The method of preparing the powder compositions
of the present invention also enable impact modifier particles having
rubber weight fractions greater than 88% to be isolated as free-flowing
powders.
