Tuftec P1000 Styrene /(butadiene/ butylene)/ styrene AKE Elastomer Styrene block copolymer (SBC) ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt >> Pressure sensitive (HMPSA) ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt SEALANT The world’s first styrene/(butadiene/butylene)/styrene elastomer, produced by selective hydrogenation of the styrene-butadiene-styrene molecular chain at appropriate positions, through advances in polymer chemistry and process technology at Asahi Kasei. An advanced combination of low-temperature characteristics and processability, inherent to the resulting SBBS structure, markedly superior to those of styrene/(ethylene/butylenes)/styrene (SEBS) hydrogenated elastomers. High compatibility for both olefinic and styrenic resins, facilitating the enhancement of their performance characteristics and the development of new and enhanced polymer alloys. Opening the way for the development of higher performance polypropylene and polyolefin films as a superior replacement for flexible PVC films and other products. Enabling the development of a broad range of advanced hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive products, as base polymer with superior compatibility and performance over the full range of tackifier types and varieties Excellent thermal characterisitics. Superior adhesive characteristics balance. Wide selection of compatible tackifiers. Styrene/(butadiene/butylene)/styrene elastomer. Used in hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives. Offers very good thermal characterisitics and superior adhesive characteristics balance.
