Thermoplastic Elastomers (SBS, SIS)
High-performance styrenic block copolymers offering flexibility, elasticity, and excellent processability.
Overview
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) such as Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) and Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene (SIS) combine the characteristics of rubber and plastic.
They deliver superior elasticity, resilience, and strength while maintaining easy processability through standard thermoplastic manufacturing methods.
These materials are widely used in adhesives, coatings, sealants, and flexible molded products, offering a balance of durability, softness, and cost-effectiveness.
Key Properties
Elastic Recovery
Excellent flexibility and rebound even after repeated deformation.
Thermal Stability
Maintains performance across a wide temperature range, suitable for hot-melt and extrusion applications.
Adhesion & Compatibility
Strong compatibility with tackifiers, resins, and oils — ideal for adhesives and coating formulations.
Processability
Easily processed using extrusion, molding, and compounding techniques without the need for vulcanization.
Applications
Adhesives & Sealants
Used in hot-melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive tapes, and sealants benefiting from elasticity and tack.
Coatings & Films
Provide flexible, waterproof, and protective coatings for industrial and consumer applications.
Footwear & Soft Components
Offer comfort, flexibility, and durability in shoe soles, grips, and molded parts.
Compounding & Blends
Improve elasticity and impact resistance when blended with plastics.
Grades & Variants
Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS)
Ideal for adhesives, footwear, and asphalt modification.
Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene (SIS)
Preferred for pressure-sensitive adhesives and elastic coatings.
