Duradene™ Styrene Butadiene Rubber: Tire Applications
Duradene™ solution styrene butadiene rubbers
are uniquely suited for use in tire compounds, from tread to sidewall to
innerbody.
These synthetic rubbers are used extensively in tire tread compounds, where
inherent hysteresis and abrasion resistance benefits contribute to improved
tire performance. This performance is possible by controlling the polymers'
glass transition temperature through styrene and vinyl adjustments to meet
specific tire applications.
The result is tire performance that cannot be easily achieved using emulsion
polymerized styrene butadiene rubber.
