![EPDM softener](/en/special/lucant/assets/image/achievements/sec01_image02.png)
Flexibilizer for EPDM
LUCANT™ is superbly compatible with EPDM and has a high molecular weight. It is unsusceptible to bleed-out and excellent in pollution resistance.

Defoamer
LUCANT™ is used as a defoamer agent for urethane, epoxy and other paints and coating materials.
![Flexibilizer for TPS](/en/special/lucant/assets/image/achievements/sec01_image04.png)
Flexibilizer for TPS
LUCANT™ has good compatibility with SEBS since its chemical structure is similar to ethylene-butene block of SEBS.

Engineering Plastics Modifier
Addition of LUCANT™ to engineering plastics reduces their friction coefficient and increases their wear resistance.

Adhesive
Addition of LUCANT™ to adhesives increases their adhesive strength and lowers the heat sealing temperature.

Polyolefin-based resin modifier
Addition of LUCANT™ to ethylene-ethyl acrylate (EEA), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and other polyolefin-based resins increases their flexibility. It also improves handling properties, moldability and workability.

- Examples of Use
-
- OA rolls
- Industrial rolls
- Heat-resistant belts
Advantages of using LUCANT™
LUCANT™ is superbly compatible with EPDM and has a high molecular weight. It is unsusceptible to bleed-out and excellent in pollution resistance.
LUCANT™ produces a high tack level in a non-crosslinked state. It therefore excels in windability around rolls and in formability.
Addition of LUCANT™ increases wear resistance and heat resistance.

Defoamer
![Examples of Use](/en/special/lucant/assets/image/achievements/sec01_image03.png)
- Examples of Use
-
- Paints
- Coating material
Advantages of using LUCANT™
LUCANT™ is used as a defoamer agent for urethane, epoxy and other paints and coating materials.
Addition of LUCANT™ induces fine dispersion of non-compatible LUCANT™ in the coating film to trigger foam breakage. It thus exhibits a defoaming effect.
LUCANT™ is so high in heat resistance and weather resistance in comparison with mineral oil that it produces an effect of suppressing hue changes.
It may also be used as a defoaming agent for electric materials with a view to avoiding the use of silicone.

Flexibilizer for TPS
![Flexibilizer for TPS](/en/special/lucant/assets/image/achievements/sec01_image04.png)
- Examples of Use
-
- Medical materials
- Food containers
Advantages of using LUCANT™
LUCANT™ has good compatibility with SEBS since its chemical structure is similar to ethylene-butene block of SEBS.
Application of LUCANT™ instead of mineral oil as a softener improves compressed permanent distortion and permanent elongation of TPS compounds.
LUCANT™ keeps elastic modulus at a lower temperature than mineral oil does. It also lowers the glass transition temperature. It thus increases the flexibility of TPS compounds at low temperatures.
As an ethylene/α-olefin co-oligomer, LUCANT™ has a unique composition. Free of naphthene and aromatics, it excels in hygiene and suited for food containers and medical materials.
