Kuraray launches high performance TPE

Kuraray Co., Ltd has introduced its range of Septon V thermoplastic elastomers, which it describes as "hydrogenated styrene thermoplastic elastomers". Although the company does not specifically mention the abbreviation SEBS, Kraton has been selling hydrogenated styrenic elastomers using the SEBS acronym for many years.

Kuraray said, "Unlike earlier Septon products, the Septon V Series contains a crosslinkable hard block and makes it reactive. Kuraray has also developed special compounding technology which makes it possible to cross-link the hard block as well as the soft block during compounding."
