Properties & Performance

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
