Styrene Butadiene Rubber Production Cost Reports

Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR). This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is a general-purpose synthetic rubber made from a styrene and butadiene copolymer. It's the highest volume general-purpose synthetic rubber with a wide application range. As it is easily available and inexpensive, its demand is on the rise.

SBR offers many properties, including resistance towards cracks, abrasion, oil, other hydrocarbon fluids, ozone, organic acid, water, chemical, alcohol, ketone, and aldehydes; great impact strength, low resilience and low tensile strength; good resilience, high tensile strength, excellent low-temperature properties but stiffens etc. It has a styrene content ranging between 10-25%, which leads to great wearing and bonding properties.

Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is widely used in tire manufacturing (as an abrasion-resistant replacement for natural rubber) for vehicles like trucks and cars (owing to its high heat resistance, which is the main application driving its market growth. Furthermore, it is employed in various industrial processes such as belting, hoses, gaskets, wire insulation and cabling, roll coverings, haul-off pads, seals, abrasion resistance and metal adhesion.

Commercially, it is used in the form of polymers in many applications like shoe soles, moulded rubber goods etc. It also finds application in the production of pressure-sensitive adhesives and tufted carpet bonding. In addition, it is employed in many other products like labels, tapes, and graphics. Also, cloth-inserted styrene-butadiene rubber is mainly used for applications related to mechanical fastening and flanged gaskets (its durability makes the rubber ideal for air, hot water, low-pressure steam, and hydraulic services).
