TuftecTM

Hydrogenated Styrenic Thermoplastic Elastomer (SEBS) Tuftec™ P1500

Asahi Kasei Tuftec™ P1500 is a selectively hydrogenated polymer. It is good as a base polymer for pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA). It has excellent compatibility with a variety of tackifiers. With blending tackifier and white oil, it provides solvent-borne as well as hot-melt adhesives. It is particularly suitable for hot-melt adhesive with low viscosity and good thermal stability.
