Product Description
Solprene 1205 is a linear random-block styrene-butadiene copolymer having 25% of styrene content, 17.5% present as a polystyrene block.

Solprene 1205 is an excellent modifier for asphaltic applications, caulks and seals, it is also an excellent processing aid for most polymers, giving good low temperature resistance, used in extruded goods, soles, heels. It can also be used as modifier for thermoplastic resins and in adhesive formulations.

Solprene 1205 performs more like a thermoplastic than emulsion SBR elastomers do. It processes best at temperatures of 160°F or above where the polystyrene blocks softens and acts as a processing aid. Banbury mixing is the preferred method of mixing Solprene 1205 an its blends.
