excellent stretching properties
as well as impact and abrasion resistance

SBR is characterized by high wear resistance, which makes it particularly attractive in applications with mechanical stress. SBR is more sensitive to weathering than some other elastomers and can suffer from UV exposure. However, the material has good resistance to aging and ozone, which increases its durability and longevity.  ​ Flexibility SBR shows good flexibility and elasticity, which makes it suitable for various applications where high elongation is required. Tear resistance High tear resistance makes SBR resistant to mechanical stress and cracks. This is particularly important in applications where the material is subjected to heavy stress, such as in tires for vehicles. Wear resistance SBR has good wear resistance, which makes it suitable for high-wear applications such as tire treads. Its ability to withstand mechanical stress and low price also make it attractive for industrial applications. Density The density of SBR is in the medium range, resulting in a balanced combination of strength and weight. This moderate density is beneficial for applications where a certain lightness of the material is desired. Insulating properties SBR shows limited insulating properties compared to other elastomers. However, it is used in electrically non-conductive applications where moderate insulation is sufficient. Weather resistance SBR is more susceptible to weathering and ozone compared to other elastomers. Limited weather resistance can lead to degradation of material properties with prolonged exposure. Chemical resistance SBR is not resistant to most chemicals. It shows limited resistance to oils, greases and some acids and is very susceptible to damage from aggressive chemicals. Temperature resistance SBR is generally not as temperature resistant as other elastomers. It tends to soften more quickly at high temperatures,_11100000-0000-0000-0000-0000-000000000111_ which limits its use in applications with temperatures above 100°C. Water resistance SBR shows limited resistance to water and water vapor. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause deterioration of the material properties. Chemical resistance SBR is not resistant to strong acids, alkalis and some solvents. Weather resistance It can also be affected by ozone, UV light and weathering, which limits its outdoor use.
