SBR rubber parts
SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) is a general-purpose synthetic rubber with good abrasion resistance at a low cost.
It suits parts in dry, air or water service where oil, fuel and long outdoor exposure are not a concern.

Typical values for general-purpose grades. The compound, the hardness and the service conditions decide what a part can take, so we confirm the compound with your quote. Typical for general-purpose SBR; the range depends on the compound. For what the type and class letters mean, see ASTM D2000 callouts.
Resistance profile
Generally good with
- Abrasion
- Water and many dilute acids and alkalis
- Impact
Usually a poor choice for
- Petroleum oils and fuels
- Ozone and sunlight (standard grades)
- Strong acids
Where SBR is used
- Bumpers, pads and wear strips
- Gaskets for water and air service
