This company has introduced two new high-performance styrenic block copolymers (HSBCs). Kraton™ MD6951 and MD1648 reportedly present a balance of high elasticity, tensile strength and lower melt viscosity, which can allow for a host of new process applications.
MD6951 is the newest HSBC in the Kraton A family, and reportedly has an enhanced flow capability never before seen on the market. Potential applications include soft-touch over molding, which can produce such products as cell phone protectors and power tool grips, protective cling films, and sound dampening materials.
