Why SBR

The World's Most Versatile Synthetic Rubber

SBR is the highest consumed synthetic rubber globally. Its balance of abrasion resistance, processability, and cost makes it the go-to elastomer for tyres, footwear, and industrial rubber goods.

Superior Abrasion Resistance

Outstanding wear resistance makes SBR the preferred choice for tyre treads, conveyor belts, and shoe soles that must withstand continuous friction and mechanical stress.

Excellent Processability

Easy to mix, mill, and calender. SBR accepts high filler loadings and blends readily with natural rubber, carbon black, and process oils for tailored compound formulations.

Good Aging Stability

Excellent resistance to heat aging and oxidation. SBR compounds maintain their mechanical properties over extended service life, reducing replacement frequency.

Low Rolling Resistance

Engineered for energy-efficient tyre applications. SBR treads reduce fuel consumption by minimising energy loss during tyre rotation on road surfaces.

Dry & Oil Extended Grades

Complete range of dry and oil extended grades available from Reliance’s Hazira plant. Grade selection support provided by our technical team for your specific application.

Reliance Quality Assurance

Every bale ships in original Reliance-branded packaging with Certificate of Analysis (COA). Integrated captive butadiene feed ensures consistent batch quality.

Applications

Where SBR Performs

1

Tyres & Retreads

Passenger car and light truck tyre treads, sidewalls, and truck tyre retreads. The largest single application of SBR globally.

2

Footwear

Shoe soles, heels, and sandal compounds. SBR provides the abrasion resistance and flexibility required for durable, comfortable footwear.

3

Conveyor Belts & V-Belts

Industrial conveyor belts, transmission belts, and V-belts for mining, agriculture, and manufacturing. Excellent wear life under continuous operation.

4

Moulded & Extruded Goods

Gaskets, hoses, automotive mats, flooring, rubber toys, brake pads, clutch pads, and adhesives. Versatile compounding for diverse industrial needs.
