Europrene® SOL B 1205 BCA is a solution styrene-butadiene partial block copolymer, polymerized using an alkyl lithium catalyst. A non-staining, BHT and TNPP free antioxidant system is added during the production process.

Key Features
Europrene® SOL B 1205 BCA exhibits a narrow molecular weight distribution that assures excellent performance to adhesives applications. The diblock properties have made this type of rubber an important additive for HIPS preparation in order to modify the morphology. It is well suited for footwear and technical rubber good compounds; advantages include wear resistance, flex life, tear resistance, clear color, excellent processability and appearance of the final product.

Main Applications
Adhesives, bitumen modification, HIPS production, footwear, calendered and extruded articles, sheeting, flooring,carpet underlay.

Sustainability
Bio raw materials can be used in production processes together with traditional raw materials. In order to attribute sustainability characteristics to the final product, Versalis applies the Mass Balance approach, an acknowledged methodology that ensures that the sustainability characteristics of the alternative raw material, mixed with traditional naphtha, correspond to those of the final product. BCA products are provided with a sustainability declaration indicating the amount of Bio-Circular Attributed component. They guarantee identical performance, quality and properties, as they do not differ in chemical composition and physical-mechanical performance from standard products.
