Introduction of both products Usually the two names latex and styrene butadiene rubbers are used interchangeably, although they are two distinct materials that are used in different ways to produce different products. The similarity between the two is that they are both composite polymers and are usually made by a process called emulsion polymerization. In addition, both substances contain organic […]
Butadiene Rubber and Styrene-Butadiene Latex Often the terms Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SB Rubber) and Styrene-Butadiene Latex (SB Latex) are used interchangeably. However, they are two different materials that are used in different ways on a variety of products. How SB Rubber and SB Latex are alike is that they are both synthetic polymers and they are usually created by a process […]
Continued decline in prices of butadiene and synthetic rubber Prices in Asian markets fell again as demand for butadiene declined and concerns about oversupply increased. Synthetic rubber (SBR) also saw a significant drop in prices this week. Platts: The decline in demand for butadiene in Asian markets has again led to a drop in the price of this product, but […]
General properties of rubber Rubbers are high molecular weight materials whose average molecular weight is not constant and varies depending on the operations they perform before and during processing. For example, the molecular weight of hydrocarbon rubber in natural freshly collected latex is higher. Of 1,000,000 However, when exposed to air, its molecular weight decreases rapidly. Thus, for example, butyl […]
Recycling in the rubber industry is almost as old as the rubber industry Charles Macintosh in 1820, just one year after starting to produce rubber raincoats, needed so much rubber that he could not import it. His research colleague Thomas Hancock found a new solution for him. Hankook built a machine that ground the rubber waste generated during the sprinkling […]
Some tips for polybutadiene rubber One of the most important aspects of PBR that is dangerous to human health is that polybutadiene polymeric materials should not be exposed to oxidants at all when they are in their packaging. It should be noted that PBR does not pose a direct risk to the environment. But if it is in pure contact […]
Tire one of the most important important elements in automotive industry One of the most important industries related to the automotive industry is the industry of manufacturing all kinds of tires. Today, continuous improvement in the field of rubber production industry with new chemical compounds and design ,based on modern engineering methods, it has caused more durable, functional tire ,better […]
Two-sided flat tire NR smooth sided rubber or natural rubber is a latex liquid extracted from rubber tree (HEVEA). It has a combination of 1.4 polyisoprene with long polymer chains that are joined together and coiled together. This property causes the elasticity of crystalline molecules and therefore in terms of high mechanical properties, low compressive strength and high buoyancy, as […]
Lubricant waste is a very harmful substance for the environment that urgently needs to be managed responsibly and properly. This substance causes great damage to the environment by being dumped in the soil and in the water, and its destructive effects on groundwater and soil remain for many years. Recycling such contaminants, in addition to preventing environmental damage, will also […]
Procurement of raw materials for rubber factories, including the required rubber, is one of the main challenges of these factories. Supplying raw rubber costs a lot of money to make rubber. At present, the production of natural rubber is mainly monopolized by East Asian countries, and industrialized countries, including the United States, have taken steps to access new natural sources […]
