KRATONŽ POLYMERS THERMOPLASTIC RUBBER-G-7705-9 (SEBS)
(Black)

Printer Friendly Version


KratonŽ G polymers based on SEBS (styrene ethylene butylene styrene) may be added to plastics and rubber-based products for applications including handlebar grips, toothbrushes, and sports mouth guards and car components. Strength and elasticity are improved and resistance to oxidation provided. The compounds can be overmolded to the surface of hard plastics components to improve grip or appearance. Thermoplastic Elastomers combine the processing advantages of plastics with the rubber-like performance of Elastomers. Known as two-phase systems, these copolymers are comprised of both hard (plastic) and soft (electrometric) molecular regions, with each region contributing advantages and limitations to the final material performance. Chemically, fully cured thermo set rubber particles are dispersed throughout a continuous thermoplastic matrix. KratonŽ has a broad range of applications that ranges from clips and connectors to insulators and grommets. Also used throughout the electronics, appliance, furniture, automotive, and general hardware industries. KratonŽ is a soft rubber like material and is opaque off white in color.
