Styrene Block Copolymer (SBC) is a TPE that combine the processing characteristic of thermoplastics and physical properties of vulcanized rubbers. Since the introduction of styrene block copolymer four decades ago, newer molecules with varied chemistry have been introduced to the market. SBC compound is thermoplastics and can be recycled, which results in additional saving in processing cost compared with thermset silicone.

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) FAQs Until as recently as 1996, the six primary TPE types could be categorized into two generic classes, block copolymers (styrenics, copolyesters, polyurethanes and polyamides) or thermoplastic/elastomer blends & alloys (thermoplastic polyolefins and thermoplastic vulcanizates). Thermoplastic
