Impact Modifier : KEPA is used for the impact modifier not only in room temperature but also in low temperature. It keeps the superior impact strength in low temperature for polar polymer, such as nylon, as well as for polyolefin.
Coupling Agent : KEPA is acting as a coupling and adhesion agent by increasing the adhesion and improving the compatibility of polyolefin materials. It also can improve the compatibility of polar/nonpolar polymers and other fillers so as to reduce the cost and to exert out standing characteristics in mechanical properties and thermal stability.
Raise the adhesion/ stickiness ofpolar materials : KEPA improves the compatibility and adhesion of polyolefin, nonpolar material, with polar materials, such as nylon, polycarbonate, polyurethane, etc., to gain the improving effect of mechanical properties.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Low Temperature Characteristic
KEPA 1130 is a product to reinforce the impact strength of conventional nylon, which
has been produced by denaturalizing the amorphous EPDM rubber in order to provide
excellent characteristics particularly in low temperature (-400°C - 500°C).Fig 1: Impact strength nylon 6 / KEPA 1130 (80/20) Blend
Fig 2: Impact strength nylon 6.6 / KEPA 1130 (80/20) Blend
- Flow Rate
KEPA 1130 exerts superior flow rate, even it is constituted with amorphous EP(D)M rubber, so as to show excellent processability and workability.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
Storage & Handling
- Storage
KEPA is produced in pellet form and packed in an anti-moisture bag by 20kg for the worker's convenience, which can be put into the internal mixer (extruder) as it is without requiring any other additional process.
