Injection materials
SBS and SEBS technical thermoplastics (Gama Synther Plus)
SBS Light, special SBS and SEBS grades for light, tough and soft-touch soles.
Description
Synther Plus technical thermoplastics bring together our highest-performance SBS and SEBS formulations for injection-moulded soles and technical parts. The range includes SBS Light (ML800), very low-density expanded compounds that make soles lighter without sacrificing comfort; the special SBS grades SC300, SC500 and SC600, designed for higher flowability, greater abrasion and tensile resistance and finishes such as a rubbery feel or a TPU effect; and SEBS (Soft SEBS and SHTR), which offer very low hardness, a soft touch, transparency and excellent weather resistance. All are 100% recyclable and tailored in hardness, colour and finish to each project.
