Tuftec™
P – Salient features
- Modification and compatibilization
for polystyrene and polypropylene,
with an outstanding combination of superior thermal,
processing, and low-temperature characteristics.
Tuftec™ P
– The SBBS polymer
- The world’s first styrene/(butadiene/butylene)/styrene
elastomer,
produced by selective hydrogenation of the styrene-butadiene-styrene
molecular chain at appropriate positions,
through advances in polymer chemistry and process
technology at Asahi Kasei.
- An advanced combination of low-temperature
characteristics and processability, inherent to the
resulting SBBS structure,
markedly superior to those of styrene/(ethylene/butylenes)/styrene
(SEBS) hydrogenated elastomers.
Tuftec™ P
– For advanced product development and performance
- High compatibility for both olefinic
and styrenic resins, facilitating the enhancement
of their performance characteristics and the development
of new and enhanced polymer alloys.
- Opening the way for the development
of higher performance polypropylene and polyolefin
films
as a superior replacement for flexible PVC films and
other products.
- Enabling the development of a broad
range of advanced hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive
products,
as base polymer with superior compatibility and performance
over the full range of tackifier types and varieties.
