SEBS,SBS

a major family within TPEs — built from alternating hard polystyrene end-blocks and a soft mid-block that delivers elastomeric behavior. SBS offers an economical, flexible solution for adhesives, paving, and footwear, while SEBS — its hydrogenated superior — delivers enhanced durability, weatherability, and safety for medical, automotive, and premium consumer applications. Together they represent the most commercially important styrenic TPE platform worldwide.
