Globalprene™ GP-9901 is an SEBS polymer grafted with ~1.5% maleic anhydride. Grafting maleic anhydride on SEBS adds polarity to the elastic polymer and enables usage of SEBS in previously incompatible applications. The hydrogenated polymer also maintains excellent thermal and UV stability and is resistant to salt and common corrosive agents. Applications for GP-9901 include soft-touch overmolding, polymer impact modification, compatibilizing polymers and fillers in blends, tie layers for multilayer films, and specialty coatings.
