Thermoplastic rubber. (Literature Materials).


Septon high performance thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene.  rubbers are featured in this 16-page brochure. Septon resins are hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers said to exhibit rubber-like properties over a wide range of temperatures. According to according to

 the literature, characteristics are said to include excellent mechanical properties, good weatherability, excellent low temperature properties, excellent electrical properties, superior heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and low toxicity. Septon grades are available with a range of durometer A hardnesses of 35-95 and tensile strengths of 290-5,600 psi. Septon resins are said to be highly extendible with fillers, resins and oils, which allows formulation of a variety of hardnesses for adhesives, sealants and various compounds, according to the literature. As an additive, Septon resins are said to be used to improve toughness of a variety of plastics. Several Septon grades have U.S. FDA FDA
