What is SEBS?
SEBS – Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene – is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). It combines rubber-like flexibility and elasticity with the processing advantages of thermoplastic materials. SEBS-based compounds are available in a broad range of hardnesses, can be coloured, and can be processed by methods such as injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding.
A Material with a Growing Range of Applications
SEBS-based materials are used in many industries, including medical products, consumer goods, mobility and automotive applications, sporting goods and footwear, personal care products, industrial products, adhesives, coatings and sealants.
SEBS is also being investigated and used as an alternative to plasticised PVC in selected applications. Medical research has evaluated SEBS and SEBS blends for products such as infusion tubing and medical fluid or blood-bag applications.
Dutch Dipping Can Help You Manufacture SEBS Products
Dutch Dipping Technologies does not manufacture SEBS products by a latex dipping process. Instead, through our manufacturing network, we have access to a specialised production facility capable of manufacturing a wide range of SEBS products.
This means that customers can come to Dutch Dipping with a product idea, drawing, 3D model or existing sample. We can investigate the appropriate SEBS compound and manufacturing method and coordinate the route from product development and tooling to finished production.
Possible SEBS Product Areas
- Medical and healthcare components
- Flexible tubing and technical profiles
- Soft-touch and flexible components
- Automotive and mobility products
- Sporting goods and footwear components
- Consumer products
- Industrial flexible components
- Seals, covers and protective parts
- Custom-made technical products
From Your Idea to a Finished Product
Do you currently manufacture a product in rubber, PVC or another flexible material, or are you developing a completely new product? SEBS may offer an interesting alternative depending on the required properties and application.
Dutch Dipping Technologies invites companies, designers and product developers to discuss their requirements with us. Together with our specialised manufacturing partner, we can evaluate the possibilities for producing your product in SEBS.
