Properties of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber copolymer derived from two monomers: styrene and butadiene. It belongs to the family of elastomers, which are materials that exhibit both elasticity and resilience.
The following table provides a comprehensive list of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) properties in both SI and US customary/Imperial units at normal temperature and pressure (NTP).
