Synthetic rubber is a flexible and artificially created substance designed to replicate the characteristics of natural rubber. It is produced through the polymerization of various petrochemical compounds, primarily sourced from petroleum, utilizing methods like emulsion, solution, and bulk polymerization. This manufacturing technique allows for customizing the material's properties to meet specific requirements, resulting in benefits such as improved durability, resistance to extreme temperatures, and chemical stability. Synthetic rubber is extensively utilized in the automotive sector for tire manufacturing, offering advantages like enhanced wear resistance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, it finds application in various industrial uses, including the production of conveyor belts, hoses, and gaskets, where its resilience and adaptability are highly valued. The two principal types of synthetic rubber are styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), commonly used in tire treads, and polybutadiene rubber (BR), employed for impact-resistant products.
