Frequently Asked Questions
Tires are the dominant application, accounting for 70% or more of E-SBR demand. The remaining demand comes mainly from industrial rubber products, footwear, adhesives and sealants, construction products, and other specialty applications.
SBR is produced by copolymerizing styrene and butadiene using either solution or emulsion polymerization. Solution SBR uses anionic polymerization in a solvent, while cold emulsion SBR is typically polymerized at around 5 to 10 degree Celsius before recovery and drying.
Styrene and butadiene are the primary feedstocks for SBR production. Together, raw materials account for approximately 75% of total SBR production cost, with butadiene generally representing the larger feedstock requirement.
Styrene and butadiene prices are the main manufacturing cost drivers. Energy, catalysts, processing chemicals, labor, plant operating rates, and transportation also affect production costs.
Asia-Pacific is the dominant SBR manufacturing region, led by China, South Korea, Japan, and other major Asian producers.
SBR is available as solid rubber, latex, and carboxylated grades. Major types include emulsion SBR (E-SBR) and solution SBR (S-SBR), with common E-SBR grades including the 1500 and oil-extended 1700 series.
There is no universal minimum recycled-content requirement for SBR. Manufacturing must comply with applicable chemical safety, emissions, worker-exposure, wastewater, and waste-management requirements, along with product-specific regulations for automotive, adhesive, and other applications.
