Butadiene (THBR1152060)

Butadiene rubber is the most common synthetic rubber used in tire treads for trucks and automobiles. When blended with natural rubber it gives an stunningly improved of resilience and lower rolling resistance. Due to butadiene is relatively inexpensive and availability compare to natural rubber and other synthetic rubber makes it a rubber that was highly sought after for many years. Butadiene rubber is famous for it’s abrasion resistant and excellent resilience. With half of the Butadiene rubber usage goes to tire, while others application are footwear, wire and cable insulation, and conveyor belts.
