Styrene-Butadiene Rubber
DESCRIPTION: Styrene-butadiene rubber SKS-30 ARKM-27 (SBR-1712) is a styrene and butadiene copolymer obtained by emulsification method with the use of mixture of rosin and fatty acids soaps. The rubber is filled with extender DAE-type oil for synthetic rubbers.
REACH: registered
APPLICATION: widely used in tire and industrial rubber industries.
Rubber should not contain any foreign impurities and must meet the following requirements:
Appearance: briquettes (bales)
Weight: 30.0+/-1.0 kg
Colour: from light-brown to dark-brown
