Dow Chemical/ExxonMobil Venture, introduces a new
high di-block, 4-arm radial Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene
(SIS) product, VectorÒ
DPX 586. This new grade has low migration
characteristics providing significantly improved die
cuttability for labelstocks. It is also generating

products are possible meeting today’s stringent
market demands.

patented technology," said Chris Mudd, Dexco General
Manager. "Dexco Polymers is celebrating its 15th
year of operation producing Vector Styrenic Block
Copolymers and has demonstrated tremendous sales
growth globally, which has enabled the business to
more than double its capacity over this time."
