KRATONTM D1152 E Polymer
Identifier : K331DDk19E

Description

Kraton D1152 E is a clear, linear block copolymer based on styrene and butadiene with bound styrene of 29.5% mass. It is supplied
from Europe in the physical form(s) identified below in the grade nomenclature:
Kraton D1152 ES - supplied as porous pellets dusted with amorphous silica
Kraton D1152 ET - supplied as porous pellets dusted with talc
Kraton D1152 ESM - supplied as powder dusted with amorphous silica

Kraton D1152 E is used in compound formulations and as a modifier of thermoplastics. It may also find use in formulating adhesives,
sealants, coatings and modified bitumens.

End Use Requirements

If the finished article is intended for use in food contact and packaging applications, toys, or human contact areas, manufacturers of
the final product should observe all relevant regulations. Some of these regulations require tests to be carried out on the final product,
e.g. migration. These are the responsibility of the final product manufacturer.
Information on the food packaging clearances of individual products is available from Kraton Polymers.

Safety and Handling Precautions

Read the Safety Data Sheet carefully and thoroughly before beginning any work. Additional information relating to the health, safety,
storage, handling and processing of Kraton Polymers products can be found in "Health and Safety Aspects of Kraton D and Kraton G
Polymers" (Document K0155), available from your local Sales Representative or the company website. Kraton Polymers also
recommends that customers or users consult other sources of safety information, for example, the current edition of the "Code of
Practice on the Toxicity and Safe Handling of Rubber Chemicals," British Rubber Manufacturers Association Limited.
Kraton Polymers products and compounds can accumulate electrostatic charges when rubbed, chafed or abraded. Processing and
storage equipment for use with Kraton Polymers products should provide a means of dissipating any charges that may develop.
When processing Kraton Polymers products, maintain a fire watch if the material reaches 225°C (437°F) for Kraton IR and Kraton D
(polymers and compounds), and 280°C (536°F) for Kraton G (polymers and compounds). The temperatures listed above are
indicated only for safety reasons (risk of fire and product degradation) and are not necessarily recommended for processing.
Degradation of the polymer (polymer breakdown) will start at lower temperatures depending on the specific processing conditions.
Therefore, operating below these temperatures does not guarantee the absence of product degradation.

Kraton Polymers products (the neat resin or the base product) are high molecular weight polymers which are non-toxic and biologically
inactive.
