What are the properties of SBR rubber?

Key properties include: Shore A hardness of 60-65 (black) and 70-75 (red), tensile strength of 350 psi minimum (black) and 550 psi minimum (red), 375% minimum elongation (black) and 325% minimum (red), temperature range of -20°C to 90°C, excellent abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and alcohols, high acoustic insulation, and excellent vibration and impact absorption.

What is the difference between black and red SBR rubber?

The main difference is hardness and mechanical resistance. Black SBR (Shore A 60-65) offers a balance of flexibility and resistance for general applications. Red SBR (Shore A 70-75) has higher rigidity and durability with 550 psi minimum tensile strength, ideal for applications requiring greater mechanical resistance and stiffness, such as structural components and high-pressure gaskets.

SBR rubber has good weather resistance for general industrial applications, but it is not recommended for prolonged exposure to direct UV rays or extreme weather conditions. For applications requiring high weather and ozone resistance, we recommend other elastomers such as EPDM or Neoprene. SBR rubber is ideal for indoor applications or with limited weather exposure.
