Polymer compositions comprising styrene butadiene block-copolymers (SBC) can be used for shrink-wrap films, a stiff star-shaped SBC block copolymer A having two short branches of a single copolymer block (B/S)Ai and two long branches of the structure St-[(B/S)A]n-(B/S)Ai or [(B/S)A]n-(B/S)Ai are used in said polymer composition, and the production of shrink-wrap films and of multilayer films is described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising at least one block copolymer and a specific amount of at least one oil component. The block copolymer, which is the polymeric matrix of the inventive composition, is built up from at least one vinyl aromatic monomer MA and at least one conjugated diene monomer MB, in particular the block copolymer is a styrene butadiene block copolymer (SBC).
Abstract:
Polymer blend comprising components A, B and C: A: 1 to 19.5% by weight of an elastomeric block copolymer A based on styrene (S-TPE); B: 0.5 to 8% by weight of a compatibilizer component B; and C: 80 to 98.5% by weight of at least one semi-crystalline olefin homo- or copolymer C.
