Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber widely recognized for its versatility and cost-effectiveness. SK Jain Insulations provides high-quality SBR rubber sheets that deliver excellent performance in various industrial applications. Known for their resilience, flexibility, and good abrasion resistance, SBR rubber sheets are suitable for a broad range of uses, from automotive to construction.
Technical Description:
Material Composition:
- SBR is produced through the copolymerization of styrene and butadiene. This combination imparts unique physical properties, making SBR a popular choice for many applications.
- The formulation can be customized to meet specific performance requirements, enhancing attributes such as durability and flexibility.
Physical Properties:
- Hardness: Available in a range of Shore A hardness levels (typically between 40 and 70), allowing for customization based on application needs.
- Tensile Strength: Good tensile strength (up to 20 MPa), ensuring reliability in various mechanical applications.
- Elongation at Break: Excellent elongation properties (up to 500%), enabling the material to stretch significantly without permanent deformation.
- Temperature Range: Operates effectively in a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F), making it suitable for both low and high-temperature environments.
Abrasion and Tear Resistance:
- SBR rubber exhibits good abrasion resistance, making it suitable for applications where wear and tear are concerns.
- Its tear resistance is also noteworthy, providing added durability in challenging conditions.
Weather and Aging Resistance:
- While SBR offers moderate resistance to ozone and aging, it is less effective than other synthetic rubbers in outdoor applications. Protective coatings may be advisable for prolonged outdoor exposure.
Chemical Resistance:
- SBR has fair resistance to a variety of chemicals, including mild acids and bases, but is less resistant to oils and petroleum products. Proper testing for specific applications is recommended.
Electrical Insulation:
- SBR rubber serves as a good electrical insulator, making it suitable for various electrical applications.
Surface Finish:
- Available in different surface finishes, including smooth and textured, to meet specific application and aesthetic needs.
Variants:
