    Identification & Functionality

    Features & Benefits

    Features
    • The presence of styrene both bound and block at lower than normal concentrations allows Europrene ® SOL B 183 to exhibit fast dissolving characteristics and dispersion in the plastic matrix of styrene polymers and copolymers.
    • The higher level of polybutadiene in the copolymer allows for the possibility of higher impact properties.

    Applications & Uses
