Product Description

Synthetic Rubber (SBR), a copolymer of styrene and butadiene, has properties similar to natural rubber, but with greater resistance to abrasion, wear and water. Additional advantages over natural rubber include:

• Superior low temperature flexibility
• Better heat resistance and heat-aging qualities
• Hardens and becomes brittle, rather than softening in excess heat
• Temperature range of -55°C to +70°C (-67°F to +158°F)

While more resistant than natural rubber in many ways, SBR shares similar resistance qualities to solvents and chemicals. SBR is widely used in mechanical rubber parts, panel grommets and body pads.
