Asaflex™ – The high-performance clear styrenic copolymers
Basic Profile
Essentials

Asaflex™ is a styrene/butadiene block copolymer characterized by both superior transparency and high impact resistance. The polybutadiene-phase (i.e., the rubber-phase) dispersion in Asaflex™ is on a finer scale than the wavelength of visible light. It can effectively heighten the impact strength, flexural properties, and other copolymer characteristics, with no effect on its light transmission.
The new Asaflex™ i Series represents a fundamental advance in thermal stability technology for clear styrenic resins. Two i Series grades are now available.

Salient Asaflex™ features
  • High transparency, elegant gloss.
  • Superior impact strength.
  • Superior flexural characteristics.
  • Coloring and printing capability.
  • Superior compatibility with styrenic resins, for high impact strength.
  • Excellent compatibility with broad range of processing methods and conditions.

Typical Asaflex™ applications
  • Glossy, printable films,
    such as: Laminate films, shrink films.
  • Strong, transparent containers and packaging materials,
    such as: Food containers, drink cups, chilled and frozen dessert cups, blister packs.
  • Transparent cases and parts requiring hinge, flexural, and push-lock properties,
    such as: Eyeglasses and goggle cases, cosmetics caps.
  • Transparent, impact-resistant parts for electric/electronic appliances and equipment,
    such as: Printer cowlings, printer tray covers, cassette cases.
