Description

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is a general-purpose Synthetic Rubber, produced from a Copolymer of Styrene and Butadiene.

Exceeding all other Synthetic Rubbers in consumption, SBR is used in great quantities in automobile and truck tires, generally as an abrasion-resistant replacement for Natural Rubber (produced from Polyisoprene). A large amount of SBR is produced in Latex form as a rubbery adhesive for use in applications such as carpet backing. Other applications are in belting, flooring, wire and cable insulation, and footwear. 

For many purposes SBR directly replaces Natural Rubber, the choice depending simply on economics. Its particular advantages include excellent abrasion resistance, crack resistance, and generally better aging characteristics.
