SBR solid rubber

SBR rubber is a type of rubber that is very commonly used as a replacement for NR rubber (natural rubber). Due to its properties, it has wide range of applications, for example, it is commonly used in the production of tyres, cable sheaths, hoses and mouldings. It is also one of the compounds of porous and extended rubbers.

SBR, or styrene-butadiene rubber, is very flexible, so many manufacturers use it as a replacement for natural rubber. SBR shows very good abrasion resistance as well as tear strength. Unfortunately, its disadvantage is poor resistance to substances based on oil, mineral fuels, and atmospheric conditions.

In general, this rubber shows resistance to:

•     inorganic acids and alkalis,
•     water,
•     alcohols,
•     brake fluids (which contain glycol).
