Product Description
SBR is a synthetic rubber, which is known for its excellent abrasion resistance, durability, and water resistance. It is manufactured through the polymerization of styrene and butadiene, the two organic compounds derived from petroleum. It is cost-effective as compared to natural rubber, making it an inexpensive choice for manufacturing various products. SBR can be recycled and reused in multiple applications, which contributes to substantial efforts and reduces environmental impacts.
In addition, SBR-modified asphalt is used in the construction and maintenance of the road due to its ability to improve the durability and resistance of asphalt pavements to cracking and rutting. It is also incorporated into roofing materials, such as membranes and coatings, on account of its waterproofing properties and ability to withstand exposure to sunlight and weathering. Additionally, it is utilized to produce sporting goods like mats, balls, and grips owing to its resilience and shock absorption.
