VECTOR 2518A
Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Block Copolymer

SBS(1) triblock copolymer.

Contains <1% diblock copolymer.

Medium styrene, high modulus copolymer.

Outstanding thermal stability.

Supplied as a porous pellet, dusted with talc.

VECTOR styrenic block copolymers find use under certain regulations as articles or as ingredients in articles intended for food contact or medical applications. Please contact your Dexco Polymers agent for a detailed letter of certification or further information.

VECTOR 2518A styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer is produced via proprietary sequential anionic polymerization technology from Dexco Polymers LP, a Dow/ExxonMobil Venture. VECTOR 2518A is not formulated with the antioxidant TNPP (tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite).

It is more creep resistant than VECTOR 8508A SBS. It has excellent thermoplastic elastomer properties and outstanding physical strength. It is designed for use as an impact/toughness modifier in blends with styrenics and in elastomeric film compounds.
