Desmopan® copolymers: Flexible, durable and versatile
Desmopan® thermoplastic block copolymer has high wear resistance, flexibility over a wide range of temperatures, and high elasticity over the entire hardness range. It also has excellent resistance to oils, greases and solvents as well as good resistance to weathering and high-energy radiation.
A thermoplastic block copolymer characterized by a wide range of properties, Desmopan® has linear polymeric chains that consist of alternating flexible, elastic segments with a low glass transition temperature, as well as rigid crystalline segments with a high melting point. The modification of these phases creates different properties such as hardness, strength, rigidity, elasticity and cold-flexibility. The material is also intrinsically soft so no plasticizer is needed.
