Styrene Block Copolymer (SBC) is a
TPE that combine the processing characteristic
of thermoplastics and physical properties of
vulcanized rubbers.
In addition, the surface
smoothness of the molded part contributes to
clarity.
SBC
compound is thermoplastics and can be recycled,
which results in additional saving in processing
cost compared with thermset silicone.

APPLICATION BULLETIN
Replace complicated in-house panel fabrication with
ready-to-install engineered composites.
Adding to the complexity
are the multiple parts and SKUs to manage.
PolyOne engineered composite panels can
be tailored to your design and performance
specifications.

At the time, the boot was injection molded from acrylonitrile-ethylene-styrene (AES) as a standalone part and assembled to the housing separately.
The manufacturer began working with Avient to find a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solution to meet its dual requirements.
