SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) is a type of synthetic rubber material. It is a copolymer material composed of two main monomers: styrene and butadiene. SBR is produced by polymerizing these monomers into a polymer form that has elastomer properties. It is also sometimes called Buna-S (after the German name).
Typical features of SBR are:
- Excellent strength and durability: SBR has good mechanical properties - this makes it a durable material with high strength.
- Wear resistance: SBR is wear resistant and has a long service life - this makes it a suitable material for tires and other applications where wear resistance is needed.
- Good solvent resistance: SBR can be resistant to some solvents, making it a suitable material for some industrial applications. However, SBR is not a suitable material for contact with petroleum products.
- Wide range of temperature resistance: It has the ability to withstand different temperature conditions.
