Polybutadiene rubber
Polybutadiene rubber, specifically BR 9000, stands out as a high-performance elastomer produced through a solution polymerization process in a nickel catalytic system. Derived from butadiene as its primary raw material, BR 9000 exhibits exceptional wear resistance due to the incorporation of extract oil. This rubber is characterized by a remarkable cis-1, 4-polybutadiene content, which exceeds 96%. The cis-1, 4 configuration contributes to the polymer’s superior elastic properties, making it an ideal choice for applications where resilience and flexibility are crucial.
Moreover, BR 9000 is stabilized using a non-staining antioxidant, ensuring durability without compromising aesthetic qualities. This makes it suitable for applications across various industries, such as automotive manufacturing, where it can be utilized in tires for enhanced wear resistance and improved road traction.
