SBR Rubber

Certain types of SBR offer improved wear resistance in tire treads while others provide better low temperature flexibility. SBR has similar resistance to solvents and chemicals as natural rubber and it can be successfully bonded to a wide range of materials.

When exposed to petroleum derivatives, the performance of this rubber is inferior to many other synthetics. Red SBR rubber is popular for use as a gasket in low pressure applications such as washers and gaskets for the heating and plumbing trades. Black SBR is commonly used for abrasion conditions such as skirtboard and chute lining.
