The compounds of this group consist of a polymer blend of pre-cross-lined butyl acrylate copolymers and TPC. Depending on the desired hardness, the continuous phase is substituted. For soft materials, it consists of the copolymer. For hard versions, TPC is used. As the copolymer is pre-cross-linked, no further cross-linking occurs during the processing in the extruder.
