PBR - Performance Butadiene Rubbers
The first choice for first class applications
The Performance Butadiene Rubbers (PBR) business unit is one of the world's major manufacturers of the synthesis rubber polybutadiene (PBR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The rubber products we produce are distributed under the brand names Buna CB, Buna SE as well as Buna VSL. The importance of polybutadiene rubber is immense: Roughly 25 percent of the synthesis rubber produced in the world today is polybutadiene rubber. About 70 percent is used in tire compounds, with another 20 percent used in plastics modification (HIPS, m-ABS). Our product portfolio allows us to offer first-class products to our customers for these as well as other applications – for example, polybutadiene products catalyzed with neodymium, cobalt and lithium. The first choice in quality and first class in delivery dependability.
