INFUSE™ Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) offer several unique attributes versus currently available polyolefin elastomers (POEs):
- Improved balance of flexibility and high temperature resistance
- Faster set-up in processing due to higher crystallization temperature
- Better elastic recovery and compression set properties at both ambient and elevated temperatures
- Improved abrasion resistance
These benefits make INFUSE OBCs an outstanding alternative for a wide range of flexible polymers including, but not limited to:
- Styrene Block Copolymers (SEBS, SIS, and SBS)
- Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
- Flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (f-PVC)
- Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPVs.)
- Flexible Polyolefins
- Selected Crosslinked Elastomers
