Kraton polymers are widely used to formulate thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) compounds in a variety of applications ranging from industrial to consumer care. These high-performance polymers are engineered to enhance the capabilities of a broad range of end products and applications. These benefits are derived from the precise control of molecular structure and the formulation expertise of our R&D team. Polymers that can be formulated include:
The unique structure of our block copolymers allows compounders to improve existing products and develop unconventional applications.
Compounds based on Kraton polymers provide excellent soft touch feel for tool grips ranging from screw drivers, pliers, to hammers.
Kraton HSBC polymers can be compounded to satisfy the demanding requirements of the automotive industry, providing improved impact resistance to TPO components, pleasant haptics to soft interior trims and skins, weatherability and weight saving to sealing systems.
Kraton polymers can be compounded and transformed into many consumer products because of its soft touch nature.
Kraton-based compounds have a long history of use in sporting goods and leisure applications. Its soft touch, transparency and elasticity are just some of the features provided to compounders, allowing them to satisfy the market needs.
Kraton polymers are used in a wide range of toy applications. Compounds based on our polymers provide an excellent balance in price and performance, contain no phthalate plasticizers, produce no nature rubber protein and meet EN 71-3:2013 toy safety standard.
Kraton polymers are used in various wire and cable products. Kraton G polymers can be formulated for use in flexible cords, industrial cords, automotive primary wire, control wire, booster cables, welding cables, molded plugs and connectors.
