Common Processing Recommendation (All Products):

  1. Pre-heat the oil to the target dissolution temperature.

  2. Gradually add the Ellamera product while stirring.

  3. Mix using high or low shear until viscosity no longer increases (polymer is dissolved).

  4. Upon cooling, the gel forms.

  5. Applying vacuum during processing helps prevent air entrapment.

*Note: For high-temperature products (110-130°C), adding 10-20% Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride can enable processing at lower temperatures.*

1. DETAILED PRODUCT COMPARISON

Chemical Structure Comparison

Product Polymer Type Styrene/Rubber Ratio Hardness / Flexibility
TER-SET 603 SB (Butadiene) Not specified Medium hardness, flexible
TER-SET 203 SB (Butadiene) 30/70 Soft, flexible
RAD-THICK 501 SI (Isoprene) 7/93 Very soft, spreadable
PER-SUST 504 SB (Butadiene) 42/58 Hardest, film-forming

4. APPLICATION METHODS (HOW TO USE)

Standard Method for All Products

1. PRE-HEAT THE OIL
   ↓
2. ADD POLYMER (while stirring)
   ↓
3. MIX (high or low shear)
   ↓
4. CONTINUE MIXING UNTIL VISCOSITY STABILIZES
   ↓
5. COOL DOWN (gel formation)
   ↓
6. APPLY VACUUM (optional - prevents air entrapment)

Step-by-Step Application Guide

A. Oil Preparation

  1. Select the base oil according to product polarity compatibility

  2. Heat the oil to the target dissolution temperature:

    • RAD-THICK 501 / PER-SUST 504: 70-100°C

    • TER-SET 603/203 / BI-THIN 602: 110-130°C

  3. If low-temperature processing is needed (for TER-SET 603/203 and BI-THIN 602 only):

    • Add 10-20% Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to the base oil

    • This enables dissolution at lower temperatures

B. Adding the Polymer

  1. Start stirring (low speed)

  2. Gradually and slowly add the polymer powder/pellets

    • Do not add too quickly to avoid agglomeration

    • Prevent powder from splashing

C. Mixing and Dissolution

  1. Mixing type:

    • High shear: Faster disaggregation and dissolution (recommended)

    • Low shear: Slower but gentler mixing

  2. When dissolution is complete:

    • Viscosity no longer increases

    • Mixture appears homogeneous

    • Typical time: 15-60 minutes (depends on temperature and shear type)

D. Gel Formation

  1. Allow the mixture to cool down

  2. Gel structure forms during cooling

  3. After cooling, other formulation components can be added

E. Vacuum Application (Optional)

  • When to use: When you want to avoid air bubbles

  • How: Process under vacuum during mixing

  • Benefit: Cleaner, more transparent product

Application Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Solution
Agglomeration / Clumping Add polymer more slowly; increase oil temperature
Incomplete dissolution Increase temperature or add fatty acid
Air bubbles Apply vacuum or mix more slowly
Gel too hard / firm Reduce polymer concentration
Gel too soft Increase polymer concentration
Yellowing / discoloration Choose product with lower yellowness index (PER-SUST 504 or BI-THIN 602)

Important Notes

Note Explanation
Same CAS, Different Products Products with the same CAS number (e.g., 66070-58-4 for TER-SET 603, 203, and PER-SUST 504) are from the same chemical family but have different styrene/rubber ratios, molecular weights, and physical forms (powder vs. pellet). The CAS number identifies the polymer family, not the specific grade.
CAS vs. Trade Name When searching regulatory databases (e.g., ECHA, EPA, REACH), searching by CAS number will return all products in that chemical family. To find a specific grade, search by trade name + manufacturer (e.g., "Kraton Ellamera TER-SET 603").
Isoprene CAS Variation Some sources may list BI-THIN 602 under CAS 66070-58-4 as well, but the correct CAS for hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer is 68648-89-5. Always verify with the manufacturer's SDS.
No Unique CAS per Grade There is no unique CAS number for each individual Ellamera grade. The CAS number is assigned to the chemical substance (the polymer type), not the commercial grade.
