Infuse™ Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) are polyolefins with alternating blocks of hard (highly rigid) and soft (highly elastomeric) segments. The soft blocks deliver flexibility providing good impact resistance and the hard blocks deliver heat resistance . Can be used with olefins including PE and PP.
Advantages of Infuse™ :
- Improved balance of flexibility and high temperature resistance.
- Faster set-up in processing due to higher crystallization temperature.
- Lighter foams , Reduced shrinkage at high temperature. For foam application.
- Improved abrasion resistance.
- Improved recovery of foam after dynamic compression set.
- FDA approval.
Applications :
- Footwear
- Adhesives
- House wares
