Styrene-butadiene rubber is a copolymer of butadiene and styrene. Elastic properties of vulcanized styrene-butadiene are not worse than the elastic properties of natural rubber vulcanizates. SBR vulcanizates, however, show a higher resistance against: ozone, weathering, heat, are also they are resistant to abrasion. SBR is used mainly for the production of car tires, shoe soles and products exposed to abrasion.

Operating temperature range is from -50°C to +100°C.

Styrene-butadiene vulcanizates are resistant to:

• organic and inorganic acids
• principles
• alcohols and water
• brake fluids based on glycols

SBR vulcanizates are not resistant to:

• mineral oils and greases, and gasoline
• aliphatic and aromatic, chlorinated hydrocarbons,
