What are the differences between high styrene rubber and common rubber?

High styrene rubber and common rubber play significant roles in different fields due to their respective unique properties. A deep understanding of the difference between the two will help us make a more appropriate choice for our customers in practical applications.

High styrene rubber is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene. In terms of physical and mechanical properties, high styrene rubber has high hardness and tensile stress at a given elongation, excellent wear resistance, and at the same time, it has good aging resistance and can resist the erosion of the external environment to a certain extent.

Common rubbers each have their own performance advantages. For instance, natural rubber has excellent elasticity, good tensile properties and cold resistance. Styrene-butadiene rubber has good wear resistance and aging resistance. Chloroprene rubber has excellent oil resistance, weather resistance and flame retardancy. Nitrile butadiene rubber is known for its excellent oil resistance.

Therefore, high styrene rubber, with its advantages such as high hardness and high wear resistance, is often used to manufacture the tread of tires, shoe soles, hard rubber products, toys, etc. It can also be used in combination with other rubbers to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the products. Common rubber is more widely used.

There are obvious differences between high styrene rubber and ordinary rubber in terms of chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties, application fields and processing performance.
