HYBRAR™ is a truly unique block-copolymer consisting of polystyrene end blocks and a vinyl bonded rich poly-diene mid-block. Due to its peak tan delta over a broad temperature range, HYBRAR™ exhibits high vibration damping and shock absorption properties.
Unlike PVC, products manufactured using HYBRAR™ do not need a plasticizer, which reduces the environmental impact of the whole supply chain. The highly elastic styrene block copolymer HYBRAR™ can be processed in a wide variety of forms, including films, tubes and injection molding.
HYBRAR™ products are available as hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated grades. Hydrogenated grades of HYBRAR™ have excellent compatibility with polypropylene resulting in excellent transparency and clarity when blended.

Features

• Excellent vibration damping over a broad temperature range
• High affinity for polyolefins and polystyrene
• Good moldability
• Can be cross-linked like vulcanizable rubber
• Rubber-like elasticity
• Very good heat and weather resistance
• Alternative to PVC
• No additional plasticizers required

Benefits

• Noise reduction, shock absorption and impact resistance due to extraordinary damping properties
• Hydrogenated grades (HYBRAR™ 7000-series) provide excellent transparency as a polypropylene blend
• Excellent weather and heat resistance
• Non-toxic
• Environmentally friendly compared to PVC
• Medical films and tubing made with HYBRAR™ have much less environmental impact during production and disposal than PVC
• Highly suitable for medical, sports equipment, automotive and acoustic components as well as flooring

Applications:

• Coatings
• Compounding
