Why is polybutadiene used in tires?

Dec 02, 2024 Leave a message

Due to its unique combination of properties, Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) finds widespread use in various industries. The bulk of polybutadiene is utilized in the manufacturing of tires, contributing to their durability and performance. Polybutadiene's resilience makes it especially useful for the tire tread, helping to reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel efficiency.

1.Abrasion resistance

Polybutadiene is highly resistant to abrasion, which is important for tire treads.

2.Low heat build-up

PBR's flexibility and resilience help moderate heat buildup in tire sidewalls and carcasses.

3.Elasticity

Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) is highly elastic and can stretch to several times its original length without breaking.

4.Low glass transition temperature

Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) becomes more elastic at low temperatures, making it ideal for winter tires.
