Hydrogenated Styrene Block Copolymers (HSBC) is highly engineered polymeric material, which is synthesized by hydrogenation of Styrene Block Copolymer (SBC). HSBC is a thermoplastic and elastomeric material. HBSC exhibit high thermo-oxidative and UV-stability. HSBC is typified into two materials depending upon the diene it consist. It include Styrene Ethylene Propylene Styrene (SEPS) and styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS). Both, SEPS and SEBS exhibit properties such as an excellent thermal stability, weather ability, high tensile strength, and transparency. Being a high performance material HSBC could penetrate into many end use industries such as construction, automotive, healthcare, and rubber among others. Its uses includes coating & films, adhesives, sealants, and plasticizers. The consumer products that can be made out of HSBC vary from handle bar of tools to rubber in construction activities. Moreover, HSBC succeeded in penetrating the evolving food industry, where it is extensively used as a thin edible coating and packaging material. The characteristic feature of HSBC such as higher durability and tensile strength prioritized its use in footwear production.
The beneficial properties exhibited by HSBC include its high durability, impact resistance, soft touch, and clarity. Furthermore, its compatibility and recyclability are the major demand pulling factors. On account of its characteristics features possessed by HSBC over its counterparts, it is observed as a major replacement for Polyvinyl chloride. In addition to this, construction activities are tangibly growing all around the world, which is expected to witness rise in demand of HSBC in coming years. Moreover, the lower labor cost in developing countries is adding into the benefits of established end use industries. Most important development happened in favor of HSBC recent years is the approval by Foods and Drugs Administration in U.S. for its use in medical equipment and food coating. However, there are some constraints which need to be taken under consideration. These includes the limit put on its production due to environmental concern of its biodegradability. Nevertheless, the benefits of HSBC are expected to dominate over the restraints which is favorable for its growth over the forecast period.
