Introducing INEOS Styrolution latest addition to their Transparent Specialty Product Line, Styroflex® PM VA 800 Powder
Styroflex® PM VA 800 is a powdered version of Styroflex® 2G66, a SBC (styrene-butadiene block copolymer) with the properties of a S-TPE (styrene thermoplastic elastomer), developed for polymer modification and compatibilization.
What’s Styroflex® ?
- Thermoplastic Elastomer based on styrene and butadiene with a hard-soft-hard block sequence (TPE-S).
- Continuous soft rubber phase formed by inner block consisting of a randomized poly(styrene-co-butadiene).
Exemplary Value Proposition in S-PVC | Modification of Flexible S-PVC
- Density reduction of S-PVC
- Resilience (recovery after deformations)
- Flexibility, enhanced by primary plasticizers
- Low VOC “Volatile organic compounds”, migration (compared to liquid plasticizers)
- High toughness and impact resistance
- Comparable processing temperatures
- Processing aid – good compatibility with S-PVC
- Compatible with fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers etc.
- Color neutral/transparent
- Intermediate polarity improvement:
- Coextrusion, lamination, gluing and welding
- Detergent resistant (compared to liquid plasticizers)
- Oxygen and vapor permeability (as in S-PVC)
Styroflex® PM VA 800 is more polar than comparable SBS or SEBS grades and offers a combination of high resilience and toughness with good transparency and process stability.
