Styrene Butadiene
Rubber
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is
the most common and economical synthetic
rubber compound available and is used
in a broad range of industrial applications.
Styrene butadiene rubber is a polymeride
created from styrene and butadiene.
Oil refineries derive styrene and
butadiene from petroleum, then combine
25% styrene with 75% butadiene to
make SBR.
Pierce-Roberts uses SBR in their
molded rubber products because of
SBR’s resistance to chemicals,
solvents, and extreme heat. SBR is
a synthetic compound that can be easily
and effectively bonded to an assortment
of materials. Because SBR’s
properties are also similar to natural
rubber’s, styrene butadiene
rubber can replace natural rubber
in many products.
