General-Purpose Elastomers (BR, IR, SBRs)
Versatile rubbers delivering durability, flexibility, and performance for tires, footwear, and industrial goods.
Overview
General-Purpose Elastomers, including Butadiene Rubber (BR), Isoprene Rubber (IR), and Styrene-Butadiene Rubbers (SBRs), are versatile synthetic polymers used extensively across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
They offer a balanced combination of resilience, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and durability, making them ideal for tires, belts, footwear, and molded rubber products.
SBRs provide excellent wear and aging resistance, BR offers high elasticity and low rolling resistance, while IR replicates the performance of natural rubber with superior consistency and purity.
Key Properties
Abrasion Resistance
High wear resistance, ideal for tires, belts, and molded components.
Resilience & Flexibility
Excellent rebound and fatigue resistance for long service life
Cost Efficiency
Balanced properties with competitive pricing for mass applications.
Processing Versatility
Compatible with fillers, oils, and additives for diverse formulations.
Applications
Tires & mechanical goods
Used in tire treads, sidewalls, belts, and hoses for strength and durability.
Footwear & consumer products
Provides flexibility, comfort, and wear resistance in shoes, soles, and sporting goods.
Industrial components
Ideal for vibration damping, conveyor belts, and molded rubber parts.
Adhesives & sealants
Offers elasticity and adhesion performance in pressure-sensitive and general-purpose adhesives.
Grades & Variants
Butadiene Rubber (BR)
Known for outstanding resilience, abrasion resistance, and low-temperature flexibility. Commonly used in tire treads, conveyor belts, and footwear soles.
Isoprene Rubber (IR)
A synthetic version of natural rubber offering uniform quality, excellent elasticity, and high purity for molded and precision applications.
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Combines strength, wear resistance, and cost efficiency. Widely used in tires, hoses, and general molded goods requiring durability and consistent performance.
