Kraton Performance Polymers Inc, a leading global producer of styrenic block copolymers announced the first commercial application of its NEXAR polymer technology.

"With the launch of Columbia Sportswear's latest cooling technology, the first commercial application of our NEXAR specialty polymer technology has been achieved," said Holger R. Jung, Kraton's Vice President, Sales and Marketing.

"As a leader in the performance apparel industry, Columbia Sportswear is known for pioneering the use of new and innovative technologies in its products. Our NEXAR polymer technology possesses unique performance attributes which we believe make it ideal for use in performance apparel," Jung added. "We believe that NEXAR also has application in humidification and dehumidification and water management processes, and we look forward to announcement of additional commercial applications for NEXAR in the future."
