MEGOL™
MEGOL™ are block elastomer-based thermoplastic compounds of SEBS (Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene; TPE-S or TPS). The elastomer phase gives the compound its elastic properties and a softness characteristic of rubber. The absence of double links in the elastomer gives MEGOL™ excellent resistance to UV radiation and aging. These compounds are suitable for overmolding onto polyolefins. Special grades are also available that are suitable for overmolding onto various technopolymers.
