TPE | Thermoplastic Elastomer(TPE) is a type of synthetic rubber, which exhibits properties between plastic (thermoplastic) and rubber (elastomer). It is used in a variety of applications, including plastic modifiers, asphalt modifiers, and adhesives. |
SSBR | Solution Styrene Butadiene Rubber(SSBR) is a copolymerization of styrene and butadiene, created via a solution polymerization process. Its polydispersity is much narrower than SBR, offers an excellent balance between physical properties and fabricability and is used in eco-friendly, high-performance tires. |
LBR | LBR is a low-cis butadiene rubber which catalyzes by the butyllithium catalyst. It has semi-transparent in appearance, low gels, and odorless. It is easily grafted with SM, so it is suitable for plastic modification. |
HBR | HBR is a high-cis butadiene rubber using neodymium (Nd) as the catalyst. It is colorless and odorless. Compared to NiBR or CoBR, HBR offers better performance for abrasion resistance, rebound ability and strength. It is used largely for tires, shoes, and golf balls. |
