Product Information Tuftec
Tuftec™ H1221
SEBS: Hydrogenated styrenic thermoplastic elastomer
Essentials

Specially designed as a modifier and compatibilizer for polypropylene (PP). Ultrafine dispersion in PP, due to outstanding compatibility, enabling production of transparent sheets and films with excellent flexibility and resistance to hazing or whitening under bending or folding. It is supplied in pellet form.

Contact us for information on handling and use.


Applications
Excellent substitute for PVC, due to unique combination of transparency and flexibility of PP/H1221 blends. Transparent apparel packaging and carrying cases. Folders and toys, enabled by flexibility and absence of hazing and whitening at folds and bends. Soft, comfortable surface feel, enabling excellent elastic films for bag liners, tarpaulins, signboards, other products. Compatibilizer. Base polymer for SEBS molding compounds. Adhesives and sealants component.
Substrates of fastening tapes for protective sheets, Logos, lines on sportswear, sports shoes, Transparent tote bags, Waterproof bag linings, Tarpaulins, Work aprons, Diaper backing sheets
