SBR rubber sheetings
Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)
is the largest volume of synthetic rubbers. Compared to natural rubber, SBR sheetings have better processability, heat aging and abrasion resistance but is inferior in terms of elongation, hot tear strength, hysteresis, resilience and tensile strength.
With over 70% being consumed in the manufacture of tyres and tyre products, the demand of the SBR rubber is very much dependent on the automotive sector.

What are the key properties of SBR rubber sheetings compared to natural rubber?
SBR rubber sheetings exhibit superior processability, heat aging, and abrasion resistance compared to natural rubber. However, they have lower elongation, hot tear strength, hysteresis, resilience, and tensile strength. This makes SBR suitable for applications where durability and resistance to wear are critical, such as in the production of SBR Rubber Sheets - 70 Shore A - Industrial grade and SBR Rubber Sheets - 50 Shore A - Industrial grade.
In what applications are SBR rubber sheetings most commonly used?
SBR rubber sheetings are predominantly used in the manufacturing of tyres and tyre products, accounting for over 70% of their consumption. Additionally, they are utilized in various industrial applications requiring resistance to abrasion and heat, making them ideal for applications such as seals, gaskets, and flooring. For reinforced applications, consider our Cloth Inserted SBR - 70A and Cloth Inserted SBR 1 ply - 5 MPa.
What are the advantages of using cloth-inserted SBR rubber sheeting?
Cloth-inserted SBR rubber sheetings provide enhanced strength and durability due to the reinforcement of fabric, making them more resilient to tearing and stretching. They are particularly advantageous in high-stress applications. Options like Cloth Inserted SBR - 70A - 1 ply polyamide and Cloth-Inserted Rubber Sheet - 2 ply offer various configurations to meet specific industrial needs.
