Styrene-Butadiene Rubber
DESCRIPTION: Styrene-butadiene rubber SKS-30 ARKM-27 (SBR-1753) 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 naphthenic oil Nytex 4700 and stabilized by staining antioxidant.
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 dark-brown to black
