Why PBR

The Performance Booster in Every Blend

PBR’s high-cis structure delivers unmatched resilience, crack resistance, and low rolling resistance — making it the essential performance ingredient in tyre compounds and technical rubber goods.

Exceptional Resilience

Highest rebound elasticity among synthetic rubbers. PBR quickly returns to its original shape after deformation — critical for tyre performance and bounce applications.

Low Rolling Resistance

Reduces energy loss during tyre rotation, directly improving vehicle fuel efficiency. A key performance attribute for modern fuel-efficient and EV tyre designs.

Superior Crack Resistance

Excellent resistance to flex cracking and fatigue. PBR compounds maintain integrity under millions of dynamic stress cycles in tyre sidewalls and industrial belts.

Low Temperature Flexibility

Glass transition temperature near −100°C delivers outstanding cold-weather performance. Compounds remain flexible in sub-zero operating conditions.

Blend Compatible

Blends readily with NR, SBR, and other rubbers to achieve targeted performance profiles. The go-to performance booster in multi-rubber compound formulations.

Low Heat Build-Up

Minimal heat generation under dynamic stress. Prevents performance degradation and premature failure in high-speed tyre and conveyor belt applications.

Applications

Where PBR Delivers

1

Tyre Treads & Sidewalls

Truck and bus radial tyres, passenger car tyres, and high-performance tyre compounds. PBR improves wear life and fuel efficiency simultaneously.

2

Technical Rubber Goods

Conveyor belts, industrial hoses, vibration mounts, and moulded components requiring high resilience and fatigue resistance.

3

Impact Modification

High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and ABS modification. PBR improves impact strength in engineering plastics and protective equipment.

4

Sports & Leisure

Golf ball cores, shoe soles, and sports equipment. PBR’s exceptional bounce and resilience make it the material of choice for high-performance sports goods.
