Automotive
Kraton HSBC polymers can be compounded to satisfy the demanding requirements of the automotive industry, providing improved impact resistance to TPO components, pleasant haptics to soft interior trims and skins, weatherability, and weight saving to sealing systems.
For over 30 years, the medical industry has trusted Kraton to deliver high-performing solutions to meet their stringent needs for exceptional quality and safety.
Kraton polymers are blended with plastics such as styrenics, polyolefins, and engineering thermoplastics to improve performance, particularly impact, by toughening these plastics at low or room temperatures. Depending on application needs, either transparent or non-transparent solutions can be offered. These polymers help compatibilize different plastics to bring out the best in each material, enhance the impact strength of scrap or regrind materials, and improve processability to allow for higher filler or reinforcement loadings.
