AGON® SOL C 283 BA is a solution styrene-butadiene partial block copolymer, polymerized using an alkyl lithium catalyst. A non-staining antioxidant is added during the production process.

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.

Key Features
The presence of styrene both bound and block at low concentrations allows AGON® SOL C 283 BA to exhibit fast dissolving characteristics and excellent dispersion in styrene polymers and copolymers. The high level of polybutadiene in the copolymer allows higher impact resistance properties. This polymer is recommended if very good gloss appearance is required.

Main Applications
Impact improver of ABS and Polystyrene giving a gloss surface.
