Synthos

SSBR Solution-Styrene Butadiene Rubber

SSBR Solution-Styrene Butadiene Rubber

Solution-Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SSBR) is used for fuel efficient and safe tyres.

Synthos manufactures a wide range of standard and functionized solution polymerized SBR that provide an excellent balance between wet grip, low rolling resistance, and abrasion resistance in silica and carbon black tyre tread compounds.  They are also used in the manufacture of high-quality industrial rubber goods.

Produced by anionic polymerisation under the brands SYNTION® and SPRINTAN™, Synthos SSBR is available in a wide variety of styrene and vinyl content and varying Mooney viscosity levels. Our technologically advanced, highly-functionalized SSBR grades are used by global tyre manufacturers to produce high-performance tyres that can meet and exceed increasingly ambitious performance and sustainability targets.

We deliver SSBR directly to our customers as polyethylene (PE) foil-wrapped bales that are packaged in returnable metal or non-returnable wooden boxes.
