Product Description
KRATON 38C60 thermoplastic rubber is an unfilled, transparent and easy processing material designed for various applications. It is designed for general applications in injection molding processes.

KRATON 38C60 exhibits high flow and excellent weatherability characteristics. It is suited for indoor and outdoor applications where its combined rubber character and thermoplastic nature can result in performance products at lower total cost. Their fast injection molding cycle time and good physical properties make it ideal products to replace similar hardness PVC or thermoset rubbers for many applications. Kraton 38C60 is supplied as ready to use transparent pellets of uniform size in 25 kilograms bags.
