Dexco Polymers will present a Technical Paper titled: "STYRENIC BLOCK COPOLYMERS FOR USE IN ELASTOMERIC FILMS IN BABY DIAPERS" at TPE 2011 - The 14th International Conference on Thermoplastic Elastomers, Nov. 8-9, 2001, Brussels, Belgium

ABSTRACT


Styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) are increasingly being used in the production of elastomeric films, strands, fibers, netting, and in laminates with non-wovens for use in disposable personal care and hygiene applications. In recent years, the demand for elastomeric films has grown with its incorporation into baby diapers in a wide range of product offerings. Their initial use was in premium diapers from the major diaper manufacturers. Today, elastic articles and especially elastomeric films based on SBCs, have found their way into virtually all baby diapers, and not only at the major producers, but in private label diapers as well.

This paper will present an overview of the various types of SBCs used in the production of elastomeric films in diapers. Examples of typical film compositions based on SBCs, and examples of film formulations based on “sequentially” produced pure triblock and quad-block copolymers for use in diaper ears and diaper tabs are described.
