The Hydrogenated Styrenic Block Copolymers (HSBCs) is a series of styrenic thermoplastic elastomers. Is used in a great number of TPE compounds and can be processed in a wide variety of forms. Specific grades are certified and used in consumer goods, medical, mobility and oil modification applications. These styrenic TPEs cover a broad range of applications including compounds, polymer modification, adhesives, flexible PVC substitutes and vibration damping products.
The Hydrogenated Styrenic Block Copolymers (HSBCs) consist of styrene-based hard blocks and a hydrogenated diene soft block. HSBCs exhibit rubber-like elasticity since the hard block acts as a crosslinking point below the glass transition temperature of polystyrene and the soft block provides elasticity. Hydrogenation generates excellent heat and weather resistance.

Adhesives, coatings, sealants
The Hydrogenated Styrenic Block Copolymers (HSBCs) is offered in a variety of grades, from low to high styrene content and from low to ultra-high molecular weight. Also, in terms of soft-block structure, there are four different types, SEP, SEPS, SEEPS and SEBS.
There is a variety of HSBCs grades, from low styrene content (soft) to high styrene content (rigid), from low molecular weight (high flow) to high molecular weight (more rubber-like properties). Each provides different functional characteristics and can be used in various applications. These products exhibit rubber-like properties over a broad temperature range. In comparison to non-hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers, HSBC exhibits better tensile strength, better heat, weather and ozone resistance as well as better compatibility with poly-olefins.
SEP 1000-series is a di-block type. It is characterized by excellent transparency and good flow ability due to its SEP structure (SEP; styrene-ethylene-propylene). Main areas of application are adhesives, sealing materials, automotive parts, cable and wire insulation, cosmetics, oil modification and viscosity index improvers (VII). SEP 1000-series products can also be applied as a modifier for unsaturated polyester.
