Intene® 60 AF BCA is a solution polymerized low cis polybutadiene produced using an alkyl lithium catalyst. A TNPP free, food contact approved, non-staining antioxidant is added during the production process.

Key Features
Low cis BR is the polybutadiene of choice to produce high impact Polystyrene (HIPS).
Intene® 60 AF is particularly suited to applications where environmental stress cracking properties and/or improved impact strength are required.

Main Applications
Impact improver to be used in polystyrene and ABS manufacuring.

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.
