New styrenics portfolio for the construction industry
Luran® S is an ASA polymer delivering superior long-term performance when exposed to UV irradiation and heat. Its low maintenance and high weather resistance makes Luran S the material of choice for outdoor applications like deckings and many others. Blending with PVC or capping on PVC, makes it is a perfect fit for applications like roof tiles, rain gutters or drainpipes.
UV stabilisation has recently been improved significantly with the new “SPF 60” modification which is available for many of the almost twenty available Luran S grades.
New is also Luran S ECO, INEOS Styrolution’s first sustainable ASA solution, with 50% bio-attributed content and up to 58% lower carbon footprint, depending on the selected Luran S grade. The bio-attribution process is certified by ISCC PLUS.
Luran®, an SAN copolymer that is used in construction because of its balanced product profile with good transparency and dimensional stability. It is now also available as Luran® ECO, a drop-in solution based on a mass balance process certified by ISCC PLUS. The carbon footprint reduction for the new product varies between 77% and 99%, depending on the amount of renewable feedstock.
Luran is also available in reinforced versions with glass fibre contents of up to 50%.
Styrolux®/ Styroflex®, SBCs are used e.g. as transparent modifiers or additive for flexible flooring, are now even available as a 100% bio-attributed ECO option with neutral to even negative carbon footprint.
Another significant innovation for the construction industry arrived recently with a broad range of styrenics based modifiers that address a wide range of polymers including ABS, ASA, PC, PP, PE, PS, PVC and many others. These new solutions are particularly attractive for the construction industry offering enhanced product properties and allow for improved processing. Modifications range from enhanced stiffness to superior long-term performance with heat exposure, better colour fastness and retention, UV resistance, dimensional stability, impact resistance and more.
