Europrene® SOL T 172 is a radial block copolymer obtained by anionic polymerization. The polymer is based on styrene and butadiene, where bound styrene is 30% weight. The polymer is extended with paraffinic oil (45 phr). A non-staining antioxidant system is added during the production process. Key Features: Europrene® SOL T 172 is a block copolymer with radial structure, where the oil addition allows extremely good flow characteristics and an easy processability. The grade provides excellent mechanical properties and outstanding abrasion resistance, in a wide range of formulated products. Main Applications: Used as a high strength base in formulated compounds for footwear and technical applications, the grade is used in the modification of polymers and in plastic recycling.
