Europrene® SOL T 161B BA is a radial block copolymer obtained by anionic polymerization. The polymer is based on styrene and butadiene. A non-staining antioxidant system is added during the production process.

Key Features
Europrene® SOL T 161B BA is a block copolymer with radial molecular structure, providing excellent mechanical properties, high strength and elasticity in a wide range of formulated products.

Main Applications
Used in bitumen modification in waterproofing membranes and road paving applications. The polymer could be also used as a high strength base in formulated compounds for footwear and technical applications.

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. BA products are provided with a sustainability declaration indicating the amount of Bio Attributed component. They guarantee identical performance, quality and properties, as they do not differ in chemical composition and physical-mechanical performance from standard products.
