KRATON™ G
Kraton™ G polymers are the strongest, most highly dilutive, and most compatible with polyolefins and mineral oils of all the styrenic thermoplastic block copolymers. Kraton™ G polymers are second-generation styrenic block copolymers with a hydrogenated midblock of styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) or styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene (SEPS).
They are intended for use where UV resistance, high service temperature, and processing stability are essential. Kraton™ G polymers are the material for producing soft, durable compounds for various applications. In addition, Kraton™ HSBC polymers are manufactured in various physical forms. We have introduced the free-flowing version of several powder form grades, which enables more efficient processing, unpacking, and handling.
