Tuftec™ H1043
SEBS: Hydrogenated styrenic thermoplastic elastomer

Essentials

Specially designed for modification and compatibilization of PS/PP alloys. Enables effective dispersion of PP in PS. It is supplied in pellet form.

Applications

PS(GPPS, HIPS)/PP alloy compatibilizer; preserves PS processability while increasing resistance to heat and oil, and thus used for food containers and trays, and in place of ABS. Effective as additive to PS for recycling. Also effective as modifier for enhancement of SAN, ABS, PPE, and other resins.
Microwavable food containers, Inner laminate films for lunch boxes and trays, Portioned food containers
