Butadiene Rubber (BR) is a widely used synthetic elastomer made from polybutadiene, created by polymerising butadiene monomers into long, elastic molecular chains. This structure gives BR its distinctive performance advantages, including excellent abrasion resistance, low heat build-up, and strong resistance to cracking and fatigue. These characteristics make butadiene rubber especially suitable for dynamic and high-wear applications.

How Silcotech Industry Uses Butadiene Rubber
At Silcotech Industry, butadiene rubber is compounded and processed into custom-moulded rubber components designed for durability and long service life. With strong material formulation expertise and precision moulding capabilities, Silcotech adapts BR compounds to meet specific mechanical and environmental requirements, either as a standalone material or blended with other elastomers to enhance overall performance.

Typical Applications

• Automotive & Transportation: Rubber components exposed to repeated motion and wear, such as vibration dampers, bushings, and protective parts, benefiting from BR’s low heat generation and fatigue resistance.

• Industrial Equipment: Abrasion-resistant parts for machinery, rollers, and conveyor-related components operating under continuous load.

• Tyre & Mobility-Related Components: Supporting elements where resilience and wear resistance are critical.
