C2000

The CirKular+™ C2000 Performance Enhancement Series represents a family of block copolymers based on styrene and ethylene/butylene brought to market by Kraton Polymers. CirKular+™ products are multi-resin compatibilizers and performance enhancement additives for upcycling mixed post-consumer (PCR) and post-industrial (PIR) polyolefinic streams suitable for multiple end use applications.

C3000

The CirKular+™ C3000 Performance Enhancement Series represents a family of block copolymers based on styrene and butadiene brought to market by Kraton Polymers. CirKular+™ products are compatibilizers and performance enhancement additives for upcycling mixed post-consumer (PCR) and post-industrial (PIR) polyolefinic streams suitable for multiple end use applications.

Compatibilization Series

The CirKular+™ Compatibilization Series represents a family of block copolymers based on polystyrene and polyethylene/butylene rubber brought to market by Kraton Polymers. CirKular+™ products are multi-resin compatibilizers and performance enhancement additives for upcycling mixed post-consumer resin (PCR) and post-industrial resin (PIR) recycling streams. CirKular+™ can upgrade the performance of PCR and PIR streams to bring cost effective solutions suitable for multiple end use applications. In addition to modification of the recycling streams, CirKular+ additives enable efficient bioplastics performance enhancement (e.g. Polylactic Acid).

Renew Series

CirKular+ Renew offers a drop-in solution to reduce the carbon footprint of conventional TPE-S formulations across various applications. This innovative, sustainable solution is ideal for consumer durable, automotive, and adhesive applications. ReNew Series is expected to help compounders, formulators, and brand owners reduce fossil-based materials, lower their carbon footprint, and incorporate certified renewable feedstock into their products.
