Kraton polymers are styrenic block copolymer (SBC) consisting of polystyrene blocks and rubber blocks. The rubber blocks consist of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, or their hydrogenated equivalents. The tri-block with polystyrene blocks at both extremities linked together by a rubber block is the most important polymer structure observed in SBC.
The industrial areas, including extrusion profiles, decoration products and coated textiles, were phased out, while the carpet activity was sold in a management buy-out. In the first half of the 2000s, the adhesives activity was further extended internationally by the takeover of the company Swift with operations in the US, Europe and Asia.
Extrusion: TPV easily extrudes into single and complex profiles. These materials can also be coextruded to yield a part with both rigid and soft components. Thermoforming : The thermoforming properties of TPV are similar to those of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) rubber and exhibit good melt strength, which provides uniform and ...
Thermoplastic silicone and olefin blends are used for extrusion of glass run and dynamic weatherstripping car profiles. Styrene block copolymers are used in shoe soles for their ease of processing, and widely as adhesives.
Not just rubber for tires, but for all the polymers and plastics that create so much of what we depend on today, from the toothbrush you pick up in the morning to the light switch you turn off at ...
Extrusion is also used for sidewall profiles and inner liners. The calender is a set of multiple large-diameter rolls that squeeze rubber compounds into a thin sheet, usually of the order of 2 metres wide. Fabric calenders produce an upper and lower rubber sheet with a layer of fabric in between. Steel calenders do so with steel cords.
