SEPTON® is a series of high performance thermoplastic rubbers developed by Kuraray Co. Ltd. using its isoprene technology. SEPTON® resins are hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers, which exhibit rubber-like properties over a wide range of temperatures. SEPTON®'s characteristics include:- Excellent Mechanical Properties
- Good Weatherability
- Excellent Low Temperature Properties
- Excellent Electrical Properties
- Superior Heat Resistance
- Excellent Chemical Resistance
- Low Toxicity
SEPTON® grades are available with a range of Shore A hardness of 35-95 and tensile strengths of 290-5600 psi. SEPTON® resins are highly extendible with fillers, resins and oils, which allows formulation of a variety of hardness for adhesives, sealants and various compounds. As an additive, SEPTON® resins can be used to improve toughness of a variety of plastics. Several SEPTON® grades have U.S. FDA and USP Class VI approval. SEPTON® has a versatile series of grades which can be used in numerous processing techniques such as blow molding, injection molding, extrusion, hot melt and solution coatings. SEPTON® resins are thermoplastics therefore, the scrap is recyclable without significant loss of properties. Information provided by The Kuraray Group. |
