(Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) SBR

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is one of the most widely used synthetic rubbers in the world. It is produced from the copolymerization of the two monomers styrene and butadiene and has properties similar to natural rubber.

SBR Production Method

SBR production is carried out in two ways: emulsion and solution. In the emulsion method, styrene and butadiene monomers are emulsified in water and then mixed with a polymer initiator. This method is the main method for producing SBR.

SBR Properties

Good mechanical properties: It has good tensile strength, abrasion resistance and flexibility.
High adhesion: It adheres well to other materials such as metal, fabric and wood.
Heat resistance: It has good heat resistance up to a certain temperature.
Chemical resistance: It is resistant to many chemicals.
Reasonable price: It is more affordable than many other rubbers.

SBR Applications

Automotive Industry: Production of tires, gaskets, belts and other automotive parts
Construction Industry: Production of insulation, cable sheathing, flooring, etc.
Consumer Goods Industry: Production of shoes, toys, home appliance parts, etc.
Adhesive Industry: Production of industrial and construction adhesives

Benefits of Using SBR

Variety of Applications: It is used in various industries.
Reasonable Price: The cost price of products made with it is lower than similar products made with natural rubber.
Good Mechanical Properties: It has desirable mechanical properties for many applications.
Easy Production: Production is carried out using simple and cost-effective industrial methods.
