Features
SBR is a cost-effective material with no oil resistance. It shows good resistance to water and can provide flexibility up to 70 durometer. However, as durometer increases, compression set weakens. SBR rubber offers good abrasion, wear, and tensile properties, and can be used in many applications as a replacement for natural rubber, providing significant cost savings. In general, SBR performs satisfactorily against most moderate chemicals and wet or dry organic acids. However, it is not recommended for use in applications involving ozone, strong acids, oils, greases, and most hydrocarbon-containing applications.
SBR Rubber Applications:
The synthetic rubber parts are often used in hydraulic brake system seals and diaphragms as SBR material exhibits excellent resistance to brake fluids and good resistance to water.
SBR rubber is also widely used in the following applications:
