Synthetic Butadiene Rubber (BR)

It’s seems that the most elastic type of synthetic rubber in the world is Butadiene Rubber or BR. This type of synthetic rubber is known as the Polybutadiene chemical. Butadiene rubbers are usually used in the industry after polymerization, along with other rubber compounds.

 After the Styrene-Butadiene rubber(SBR), Butadiene synthetic rubber has the highest volume of production and consumption among synthetic rubbers, which was in 1999 about 1.953.000 metric tons cconsumptions alone, according to statistics.

Application of Butadiene Rubber in the industry

One of the most popular uses of butadiene rubber or BR in the industry is the use of this rubber, combined with natural rubber for the production of truck tires. In general, the main use of this type of rubber is to produce tires that more than 70% of these tires are made with polymer and move sidewalls and treads.

 In order to tread compounds, it usually combines butadiene rubber with natural rubber or SBR rubber, or even with other types of other elastomer rubbers.

As an impact modifier Use this kind of rubber for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin (ABS) and polystyrene with at least 25% of the total volume in their production. Usually in order to create rubber-toughened resins, about 7% of butadiene rubber is added to the polymerization process.

Around 20,000 metric tons of butadiene rubber worldwide is used annually with the high CIS polybutadiene in the production of golf ball core because of the high flexibility and resiliency of this type of rubber.

 The use of this type of rubber is increasing every year, and a wider range of applications are made from this type of rubber because the golf ball manufacturing industry seems to have been distancing from the production of this ball traditionally in which the ball was wound, and to The production side of this type of ball is two-piece, the core of this type of rubber is solid core that made from Br, which is obtained from the combination with other rubbers.

Butadiene rubber properties

• Butadiene rubber has High Elasticity

• These rubbers have temperature conditions properties
• Butadiene rubber resistance to wear is high
• Has little tolerance and ability to hysteresis
• It has high flexibility against ambient temperatures and environmental conditions
• It is resistant to abrasion and tear in extreme conditions
• There is little resistance to rolling.

Conclusion
Generally, it can be said that butadiene rubber can be as one of the most used synthetic rubber, as it was until now, for the production of hard plastics, tire types, types of balls such as golf balls at low cost and with such conditions as available Being and having unique features.
