TPEs made from styrenic block copolymers (SBC) such as Kraton® D or G Polymers have special properties that can enhance the success of a finished part.
Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs):
In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section.

** Non-HBCD means that Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is neither used as starting material during the mixing phase of our products nor
intentionally added during production, but it cannot be excluded that it is not present at level of ubiquitous traces in any of the raw materials
used in manufacturing of our products.
Our representatives can suggest the most suitable standard or custom solution.
