Vector 2518 Styrenic block copolymer Dexco Polymers Styrene block copolymer (SBC) >> Styrene isoprene rubber, SIS ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt >> Pressure sensitive (HMPSA) ADHESIVE >> Hot-melt SEALANT VECTOR 2518 is a linear, pure SBS triblock copolymer. It is a medium styrene, high viscosity product. It contains no residual diblock. It is more creep resistant than VECTOR 8508 and VECTOR 8550 block copolymers. It has excellent thermoplastic elastomer properties and outstanding physical strength. It is a high molecular weight version of VECTOR 8508. It is designed for use as a impact/ toughness modifier in blends with styrenics and in elastomeric compounds. Vector styrenic block copolymer - tailored product with excellent purity and consistency as well as high performance properties. This copolymer can be combined with hydrocarbon resins as an ideal choice for many adhesive applications such as pressure sensitive adhesives for tapes and labels, hot melt product assembly adhesives, construction adhesives, mastics, and sealants. Improved shear strength and heat resistance compared to formulations containing conventional process copolymers. Aging resistance and color stability under thermal stress may also be greatly improved, due to the halide-free nature of many of Dexco’s products, leading to potential savings in stabilizer costs. Linear, pure, SBS triblock copolymer. Used for adhesives and sealants applications. Provides creep resistance, thermoplastic elastomer properties and outstanding physical strength. Offers good purity and consistency, and high performance properties. Can be combined with hydrocarbon resins for many adhesive applications (PSA).
