SYNTHETIC RUBBER
Above Infinity sources synthetic rubber with precision. Our partnerships with reputable manufacturers yield high-quality styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber (NBR), and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). SBR, commonly used in tires, undergoes strict quality checks. NBR’s oil resistance is verified through independent testing. EPDM, known for weather resistance, meets international standards.
Our sourcing process ensures that automotive components, seals, and industrial hoses benefit from the unique properties of synthetic rubber. Clients can trust our commitment to sourcing excellence and compliance.
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Composition: SBR is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene. It combines the toughness of butadiene with the processability of styrene.
Applications: SBR finds extensive use in tire manufacturing due to its excellent abrasion resistance, good grip on wet surfaces, and cost-effectiveness.
Quality Assurance: Rigorous quality checks ensure consistent properties across batches. These checks include tensile strength, elongation, hardness, and resilience.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
Composition: NBR, also known as Buna-N, is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene.
Oil Resistance: NBR excels in applications where oil, fuel, or grease exposure is common (e.g., automotive seals, gaskets, hoses).
Chemical Resistance: It withstands exposure to various chemicals.
Verification: Independent testing confirms oil resistance, ensuring reliable performance.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)
Composition: EPDM is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer.
Weather Resistance: EPDM remains flexible and durable in extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and ozone-rich environments.
Sealing Applications: It’s widely used for roofing membranes, automotive weatherstripping, and seals.
International Standards: EPDM meets ASTM and ISO standards, assuring consistent quality.
Chloroprene Rubber (Neoprene Rubber)
Composition: Neoprene is a synthetic rubber made by the polymerization of chloroprene. It combines good chemical stability with flexibility over a wide temperature range.
Applications: Neoprene is widely used in gaskets, seals, hoses, and corrosion-resistant coatings. It is also popular in the production of wetsuits, orthopedic braces, and other products requiring flexibility and durability.
Quality Assurance: Neoprene undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure consistent performance.
