KIBITON TPE

KIBITON® is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene. It is often used for bitumen modification.

Kibiton shows some of the characteristics of thermoset rubber, such as elasticity and low temperature performance, with the advantages of a thermoplastic, such as melt processibility. 

Its segmented and radial molecular structure allows it to have the same flexible and physical properties of general rubber, without the vulcanisation process. Its middle segment is similar to rubber and has excellent elastic restoring force, processing flowability, weather resistance, and can be injection moulded similarly to thermoplastics. It can be widely applied for shoe soles, toys, asphalt modifications, mechanical products, plastic modification agents and adhesive agents.

KIBITON TPE is an SBS resin.
