Synthetic Rubber

Synthetic Rubber

Synthetic rubber is a man-made elastomer produced from petrochemical feedstocks such as naphtha and natural gas derivatives. It is designed to replicate and often exceed the properties of natural rubber, offering enhanced durability, flexibility, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion.

Widely used across multiple industries, synthetic rubber plays a crucial role in manufacturing products that require strength, elasticity, and long-lasting performance.


🔹 Types of Synthetic Rubber

  • SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber)
    Used in tires, footwear, and conveyor belts
  • NBR (Nitrile Rubber)
    Oil-resistant rubber used in seals and gaskets
  • EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
    Weather-resistant, used in roofing and automotive parts
  • CR (Neoprene Rubber)
    Heat and chemical resistant, used in wetsuits and hoses
  • Butyl Rubber (IIR)
    Excellent air retention, used in inner tubes
