GLOBALPRENE SBS OE (Oil-Extended), also called an oil-extended grade, is a type of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer material that contains process oil.
Compared to non-oil-extended SBS polymers, the flexibility of oil-extended forms of SBS rubber makes it the ideal material for thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) soles in footwear.
Features and Benefits of SBS-OE Polymers
Acts like vulcanized rubber without vulcanization
Recyclable for reprocessing
Colorability
Superior physical and mechanical properties
Reduces processing costs with the use of simple molding machines and technology
Bonds easily to shoe upper material
Superior low-temperature properties
Applications of SBS-OE Polymer Material
Properties of SBS-OE rubber that make it the ideal material for TPE soles in footwear: Excellent rebound, abrasion, flexible, soft and balanced performance, oil-extended, plasticizer and vulcanization not required, recyclable, colorability, colorless
