Products & Applications

PRODUCT RANGE

Organised by product family: one line on the characteristics of each family, followed by its typical applications. Application information is general industry knowledge; the grades we actually trade, their technical parameters and supply scope are subject to our own product documentation.

01 / ESBR

Styrene Butadiene Rubber

A general-purpose synthetic rubber with a balanced combination of abrasion resistance and processability, frequently blended with polybutadiene rubber.

Key supply · eco-friendly oil-extended SBR

Typical applications

Tire industryTread, sidewall, and radial and bias tire components
FootwearSoles, foamed compounds and moulded parts
Industrial rubber goodsConveyor belts, hoses, rollers, weather strips
Rubber-plastic modificationBlended with resins to improve impact resistance

02 / BR

Polybutadiene Rubber

High resilience and low heat build-up, with outstanding abrasion resistance and low-temperature performance; usually blended with SBR.

Typical applications

Tire industryTread and sidewall, improving wear and flex resistance
FootwearSoles, improving resilience and flex endurance
Industrial rubber goodsHoses, belts, vibration-damping parts
Plastics modificationImpact modification of HIPS and ABS

03 / IIR

Butyl Rubber

Excellent air impermeability, ageing and ozone resistance, combined with damping and electrical insulation properties.

Primarily Exxon premium grades

Typical applications

Tire industryInner tubes, curing bladders, water bags
Pharmaceutical packagingPharmaceutical stoppers and other high-barrier articles
Sealing & waterproofingGaskets, waterproofing membranes, construction sealants
Industrial protectionAnti-corrosion linings, damping parts, electrical insulation

04 / HIIR

Halogenated Butyl Rubber

Butyl rubber modified by bromination or chlorination: faster curing, co-vulcanisation with general-purpose rubbers, and better adhesion and heat resistance.

Primarily Exxon premium grades

Typical applications

Tire industryInner liners of tubeless tires, sidewalls
Pharmaceutical packagingVial stoppers, injection stoppers and other high-cleanliness articles
Heat-resistant goodsHeat-resistant hoses, belts and seals
Adhesion & dampingAdhesives, waterproof sealants, damping materials

05 / SSBR

Solution SBR

A tailored molecular structure gives a better balance of rolling resistance and wet grip, making it a key polymer for high-performance and green tire treads.

Typical applications

Green tiresLow rolling resistance tread compounds
High-performance tiresTread compounds balancing wet grip and wear
Compound synergyUsed with silica and silane reinforcement systems
Premium footwearSoles and industrial goods requiring high dynamic performance

Supply notes

Eco-friendly oil-extended SBR: extended with low-polycyclic-aromatic (PAH) process oils, meeting the environmental requirements that export and green tire formulations place on extender oils. This is a key supply focus within our SBR range.
Butyl rubber and halogenated butyl rubber: we mainly supply Exxon premium grades.
