SBR has good physical strength, tear and abrasion resistance. Applications include non-mechanical high-volume products such as shoe soles and heels or car tires, gaskets, chewing gum. Typical applications: - Non-mechanical high-volume products such as shoe soles and heels or car tires
- Gaskets
- Chewing gum
Advantages: - Good physical strength
- Good tear and abrasion resistance
- Good ageing stability
- Better wet skid resistance to NR
Disadvantages: - Does not resist oil or fuels
- Prone to weathering
- Lower resilience to NR
- Inferior heat build-up to NR
