Global Styrenic Block Copolymer (SBC) Market: Overview

Styrenic Block Copolymer is commonly used in infant diapers for the manufacturing of waistbands, ears / side panels, buttons, leg elastics and landing field. Due to elastomeric fabrics, improved comfort and fit of diapers prompted baby diaper manufacturers to introduce compounds such as SBS, SIS, SEBS, SEPS and SEEPS, which can drive the industry demand for styrenic block copolymer.  SBCs are distinguished by their ability to be treated as thermoplastic materials while having the physical and mechanical properties typical of filled vulcanised elastomers, as with other thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). The scrap produced is, moreover, reprocessable. Compared to vulcanised rubber, these aspects combine to lower the manufacturing cost of finished articles based on these components.
