Compact

The "goprene" compounds are obtained by extruding sbs (styrene-butadiene-styrene) elastomers and incorporating styrenic polymers that represent the "rigid" thermoplastic matrix.

Granulate synthetic resins that are obtained from this blend have all the elastic characteristics of rubber, typical of reticulated elastomers, with the advantage that they can be thermoplastically processed.

General properties

Compact grades are characterised by excellent elastic properties, ensure an excellent aesthetic appearance and are easily colourable. They offer fluidity, opacity and gloss with excellent resistance to abrasion and to changes in temperature (cold resistance).

Goprene resins, are compounds that are easy to process and the transformation technology adapts to the moulding of bicolour or tricolour products; many of them are even suitable to be painted and finally have excellent bonding capabilities, even when cold.

Specific properties

To the compact materials, are added:

• Compounds for the moulding of boots with pvc surface
• Cork-like effect compounds
• Furniture (components and various parts)
• No-marking material used to avoid leaving marks on floors

We develop various compounds that suit the specific request of the customer seeking materials for specific applications.

Within this context, our services of research, development and technical assistance are at your complete disposal for any request.

It is advisable to store the product in a covered area that is sheltered from humidity and heat sources as thermoplastic materials that are ready for use are sensitive to changes in temperature.

The "goprene" materials that we produce are non-toxic and can be reclaimed and recycled.
