    Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound is disclosed which has very low hardness by virtue of the use of a combination of high styrene content styrene-ethylene-ethylene-propylene-styrene copolymer, a conventional styrene-ethylene-ethylene-propylene-styrene copolymer, and a plasticizer. Super-soft extruded or molded plastic articles may be formed from pellets of the compound, with a resulting Shore OO Hardness of between about 35 to about 52. Molded articles may be prepared using injection molding techniques.

    Abstract: An adhesive composition includes, based on a total weight of the adhesive composition, 18 wt % to 30 wt % of a styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer, 6 wt % to 30 wt % of a tackifier, 30 wt % to 50 wt % of a white mineral oil, and 5 wt % to 35 wt % of an incompatible polymer composition. The styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 90,000 g/mol to 140,000 g/mol. The tackifier has a weight average molecular weight of 500 g/mol to 5000 g/mol, a glass transition temperature of 50° C. to 100° C., and a softening temperature of 100° C. to 140° C. The incompatible polymer composition includes at least two of a high density polyethylene, a crosslinked ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, and an olefin block copolymer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to thermoplastic elastomer blends comprising at least one non-hydrogenated styrene isoprene block copolymer (SIS) having a Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) greater than or equal to 50,000 g/mol and a Tan Delta Peak Temperature greater than or equal to 15° C. and less than or equal to 25° C. at least one of: at least one hydrogenated SIS having an Mw greater than or equal to 75,000 g/mol and a Tan Delta Peak Temperature less than or equal to 20° C.; and a styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) having a Mw greater than or equal to 75,000 g/mol and a Tan Delta Peak Temperature less than or equal to 20° C.; and a tackifier having a softening point greater than or equal to 80° C.

    Abstract: Thermoplastic articles are molded from thermoplastic polyurethane compounds including blends of aliphatic poly-caprolactone thermoplastic polyurethane and aromatic thermoplastic polyurethane selected from aromatic polyester thermoplastic polyurethane, aromatic polyether thermoplastic polyurethane, and combinations thereof. The thermoplastic articles exhibit enhanced stain resistance, as represented by achieving a rating of 2 or better according to Blue Jean Abrasion Test, relative to thermoplastic articles molded from thermoplastic polyurethane compounds including either aromatic polyester thermoplastic polyurethane or aromatic polyether thermoplastic only, while also having good clarity (i.e., low haze) and other desirable properties. The thermoplastic articles can be especially useful as protective cases for handheld electronic devices.
