GODIFLEX – TPE Based on SBS and SEBS
High-Performance Thermoplastic Elastomers
Flexible. Easy to process. Versatile.
GODIFLEX is a powerful product line of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) based on SBS and SEBS, developed for applications that require a balanced combination of elasticity, mechanical performance, cost-efficiency and formulation freedom.
The TPE compounds combine the elastic behavior of rubber with the industrial advantages of thermoplastics: recyclability, easy processing by injection molding or extrusion, no vulcanization process, and excellent compatibility with many technical thermoplastics.
Comparison of SBS & SEBS Technology
TPE SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene)
GODIFLEX SBS types are based on non-hydrogenated styrene copolymers and offer:
- High flexibility
- Pleasant soft-touch feel
- Attractive cost efficiency
- Excellent colorability
- High formulation freedom
Typical applications:
interior parts and components without elevated requirements for UV or long-term heat resistance.
TPE SEBS (Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene)
GODIFLEX SEBS types are based on hydrogenated styrene copolymers and offer:
- Very good aging resistance
- High thermal stability
- Increased resistance to UV, ozone and chemicals
- Broad operating temperature range
Typical applications:
technical, industrial and outdoor applications with high demands for durability and reliability.
Key Properties of the GODIFLEX Product Line
- Wide hardness range: from very soft (~30 Shore A) to semi-rigid (~50 Shore D)
- Excellent processability in injection molding and extrusion
- Outstanding elasticity and resilience
- Good elongation at break
- Available in transparent, translucent or filled formulations
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Suitable for overmolding on PP, PE, ABS, PC, PC/ABS and PA (depending on grade)
