LUCANTTM is a synthetic hydrocarbon oil developed by Mitsui Chemicals as a flexibilizer additive for ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and thermoplastic styrene (TPS) compounds. It can provide improved extrusion processability, damping properties, low temperature performance, compression set resistance, solvent resistance, and color stability compared to mineral oil additives in these compounds. Target applications include conveyor belts, automotive dampers, industrial equipment, and other rubber and plastic products. When added to EPDM and TPS compounds, LUCANTTM demonstrates enhanced key properties over mineral oil alternatives.

[What is LUCANTTM?] • LUCANTTM is liquid ethylene-α-olefin co-oligomer, having similar chemical structure to EPDM and HSBC. HSBC: hydrogenated styrene block copolymer, TPS: thermoplastic styrene
LUCANTTM is a unique flexibilizer to give additional
value to EPDM and TPS compound. [Key performance to be demonstrated in EPDM compound] • Excellent extrusion processability • High damping property • Good low temp. property Extruded EPDM-based samples • Low compression set with • Low staining mineral oil • Low migration in solvent [Target application] with Convey belt, automotive dampers, LUCANTTM
industrial equipment, etc..
[Key performance to be demonstrated in TPS compound]
• High damping property Tan δ of SEPS-based samples • Good low temp. property • Low compression set with • Good weather stability mineral oil (Good color stability) better • Low migration in solvent with LUCANTTM Compression set of SEBS-based samples
with mineral oil
with LUCANTTM better
