GLOBALPRENE TPE portfolio comprises several classes of styrenic block copolymers (SBCs), which offer distinct properties suited for different applications. Each class of SBCs in the GLOBALPRENE portfolio offers unique properties that provide versatility for many types of manufacturing processes. GLOBALPRENE TPE additives are highly versatile for thermoplastic manufacturers and can be used efficiently in injection molding, overmolding, extrusion, blow molding, compression molding, and thermoforming.
GLOBALPRENE SEBS (Styrene–Ethylene–Butylene–Styrene)
GLOBALPRENE SBS offers thermal and oxidative stability, as it is a hydrogenated version of SEBS. These TPE grades exhibit resistance to UV exposure, ozone, and chemicals while maintaining their flexibility and elasticity.GLOBALPRENE SEPS (Styrene–Ethylene–Propylene–Styrene)
GLOBALBRENE SEPS is a hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer that eliminates double bonds in the diene molecules, reducing susceptibility to degradation factors such as oxygen, ozone, and UV.GLOBALPRENE SIS (Styrene–Isoprene–Styrene)
GLOBALPRENE SIS is a styrene–isoprene–styrene copolymer block TPE that exhibits thermal stability, strength, low hardness, and viscosity for thermoplastic processing. Comprised of styrene and isoprene polymers, they have the lowest hardness and viscosity of all the styrenic block copolymer family.GLOBALPRENE SBS (Styrene–Butadiene–Styrene)
Styrene–butadiene–styrene is a type of thermoplastic elastomer with two monomers of styrene and butadiene that simultaneously provide properties of plastic and rubber without requiring vulcanization.Applications of LCY GLOBALPRENE
Medical & Healthcare
GLOBALPRENE SEBS is ISO 10993 and US Pharmacopeia Class VI certified, which ensures biocompatibility for diverse medical applications. With flexibility and kink resistance, it is ideal for medical tubing where flow and structural integrity are required.
Transportation
GLOBALPRENE TPE materials offer high flexibility and strength and are inherently lightweight, contributing to automotive designs to reduce overall weight for improved fuel efficiency and performance. GLOBALPRENE provides excellent resistance to low temperatures and weathering for long-term durability and performance.
Industrial Equipment
GLOBALPRENE TPE provides processing benefits for complex industrial parts, which can enhance production efficiency. Non-oil-extended formulations offer material purity for sensitive industrial applications such as pharmaceutical.
Wearables & Consumer Electronics
GLOBALPRENE TPE products offer high elasticity and impact strength for use in flexible housing and protective cases for electronic devices. They provide lightweight benefits for consumer electronics and wearables, ensuring devices are comfortable and easy to handle.
Wire and Cable Insulation
GLOBALPRENE materials impart excellent resistance in low temperatures and superior dielectric properties for wire and cable insulation. TPE provides durable and flexible protective sheathing and fiber optic cable filling compounds due to its excellent viscosity control and thixotropic properties.
Asphalt Modification
GLOBALPRENE TPE provides superior elasticity recovery, which helps asphalt maintain its shape and integrity under stress and reduces the likelihood of cracks or deformation. Due to the increase in the softening point of the asphalt, GLOBALPRENE aids in waterproofing, ensuring strong adhesion for longevity.
Adhesive
GLOBALPRENE SEBS and SIS grades exhibit superior adhesion properties alongside their compatibility with additives such as tackifiers and processing oils that improve the overall adhesive formulation. With its balanced adhesion performance, low odor, and weather resistance, TPE works for hot-melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, sealants, and protective films.
Packaging
For consumer, medical, food, and industrial packaging, GLOBALPRENE TPE exhibits excellent transparency where that design feature is required. It is also compatible with other additives that may improve the versatility of the packaged materials. GLOBALPRENE is environmentally friendly, as it can be recycled or reprocessed, while offering good barrier properties for more sensitive applications that require the preservation of quality and freshness.Talk to a technical specialist today about which grade of GLOBALPRENE is right for your formulation!
