HYBRAR

HYBRAR™ is a styrenic block copolymer having vinyl-polydiene soft block developed by Kuraray Co. Ltd. using its unique Isoprene Technology. HYBRAR™ is a series of thermoplastic rubbers which offers high vibration damping properties due to its glass transition temperature (Tg) near room temperature. This allows HYBRAR™ for use in damping applications that are not favorable with Kuraray’s SEPTONTM product series.

Both hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated grades of HYBRARâ„¢ are available. In addition to the superior vibration damping properties, hydrogenated grades also exhibit excellent miscibility with polypropylene, and may be used to produce blends with excellent transparency, flexibility and mechanical properties without the need for plasticizers while being friendlier to environment. HYBRARâ„¢ can be processed in various forms including film, sheet, tube etc.

Similar to many rubbers, HYBRARâ„¢ can be vulcanized. CuredHYBRARâ„¢ foams exhibits low Compression Sets & good elasticity.

It is commonly used in medical bags and tubing, sporting goods, automotive products, and construction.

Features:

• High Vibration Damping Properties at Room Temperature

• High Affinity to Polyolefins and Styrenics.

• Curable like Vulcanized Rubber.

• Rubber like Elasticity.

• Excellent transparency, Flexibility & Mechanical Properties.

• Excellent miscibility with Polypropylene (Hydrogenated Type).

• Excellent Heat & Weather Resistance (Hydrogenated Type).

Applications:

• Damping items (such as shoe sole etc.)

• Sound deadening items.

• Soft PVC replacement (Medical Bags etc.).

• Oxygen barrier film (with high Mw grade).
