Applications
Impact Modification in Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) Compounds
In TPO compounding, 65015 functions as the soft dispersed phase within a PP or PE matrix. A flexural modulus of 8 MPa and Shore A hardness of 46 make the grade compliant enough to absorb impact energy without creating hard-domain incompatibilities in the final blend. Compounders targeting automotive fascias, instrument panel skins, or appliance housings add POE to semi-crystalline polypropylene specifically to hit notched Izod or Charpy impact targets at low temperatures. The Tg of -58°C ensures the elastomeric phase remains mechanically active in cold climates where unmodified PP would become brittle — a requirement that drives grade selection in automotive exterior applications.
Footwear Midsoles
Footwear formulators working with POE foam compounds balance density, hardness, and melt flow when selecting a base resin. The 0.862 g/cm³ density of 65015 supports the lightweight targets that athletic and casual midsole programs demand, and Shore A 46 falls within the range suited for both direct-inject and compression-molded foam constructions. Chinese footwear manufacturers — particularly in Fujian and Guangdong — have adopted WANSUPER® grades for midsole development programs where energy return, softness, and dimensional stability after foaming are primary criteria. Chinese trade media has reported specifically on 65015's use in foamed midsole applications, confirming active adoption at the production level.
Wire and Cable Extrusion
Cable insulation and jacketing applications draw on POE's flexibility and low-temperature performance. Elongation at break exceeding 800% and a tear strength of 17 KN/m support cable jacket integrity through installation bending, conduit pulling, and long-term flex cycling in service. The melt index of 1.2 g/10min gives cable extruders consistent throughput on standard single-screw lines without requiring high back-pressure settings — a processing advantage on continuous high-volume extrusion runs where line speed stability directly affects output cost.
Why Source Through BASTONE
BASTONE Petrochem operates as a listed distributor of SINOPEC and maintains direct sourcing relationships with China's major petrochemical producers. WANSUPER® 65015 is available through BASTONE's export entity, Zhejiang Bastone Technology Co., Ltd., with documentation packages that include batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, MSDS, and all commercial export records needed for customs clearance in target markets. Buyers do not receive repackaged or spot-market material — the supply chain from Wanhua production to the buyer's warehouse is documented end to end.
BASTONE's parent group operates four production sites and an R&D center focused on specialty chemicals. The group's manufacturing background means BASTONE's commercial team can engage with formulation questions that a pure trading house typically cannot address. When a buyer needs to compare 65015 against adjacent grades in the WANSUPER® line — or evaluate how the grade fits an existing TPO compound — BASTONE provides grade-specific technical context, not generic polymer category summaries.
Flexible trade terms, packaging configurations, and logistics coordination are arranged through the same export platform. Container loading specifications, minimum order quantities, and port of loading details are confirmed at inquiry — before a buyer commits to the purchase order, not after.
