Currently, ABS/PA blends are commercially available primarily from Styrolution under the trade name of Terblend N and Ineos ABS tmder the trade name of Triax . In general, ABS/PA blends exhibit excellent notched Izod impact (>850 J/m or >65 KJ/m )) at room temperature (Table 19.9). These impact properties are equivalent to those of impact-modified polyamide (Table 19.22). However, the DTULs (0.45 MPa) of ABS/PA blends are relatively low compared to those of impact-modified nylons. The key difference being that in ABS/polyamide blends, due to the significant level of ABS, a substantial drop in the modulus occurs at the Tg of ABS (SAN), and hence the blend exhibits lower DTUL at 0.45 MPa than the impact-modified polyamide. The latter blends are polyamide-rich (>75 %) elastomer blends and hence maintain a higher level of heat resistance due to the higher level of the crystalline PA phase.
