Lucopren is a novel, super-soft and highly elastic raw material based on polyolefins. It is available for extrusion and injection moulding applications in a hardness range from Shore A = 80 to Shore A = 30. Standard grades can be supplied as natural granules. Customized coloured versions are available upon request.
Lucopren displays excellent flexibility and elasticity. It can be converted into products with an excellent touch and good rebound resilience. In multi-layer composites Lucopren products demonstrate superior adhesion to polyolefins. Moreover, Lucopren can be easily coloured by using standard colour masterbatches with a Polyolefin carrier resin.
Product advantages
- easy processing on standard processing equipment
- high elasticity and flexibility
- good mechanical properties and polymer stability
- high impact properties at low temperatures
- compatibility with polyolefins
Applications
These available moulding grades (Lucopren 1500H/M) can be easily converted into any kind of elastic parts, or into soft layers of rubbery surface and touch. Other fields of application for this grade are extrusion coatings and multi-layer constructions as well as calendered tarpaulins as an alternative to soft PVC. Furthermore, when crosslinking Lucopren by means of peroxide or radiation, stable closed-cell foams can be produced.
