SBR Rubber Extrusions: Elbex's Formula for Strength, Durability, and Versatility
Sep 16, 2024
Rubber extrusions play a valuable role in a wide range of industries. Of course, the right type of rubber for a particular application may vary based on its properties and the nature of the application. At Elbex, we’re proud to offer a variety of rubber materials, including SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber). With its abrasion resistance, flexibility, and impact resistance, SBR is well-suited for the creation of high-performance extrusions.
SBR: A Deep Dive Into its Advantages
SBR has several distinct traits that make it an excellent choice for many applications. SBR is exceptionally resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for applications with friction or high contact. It can also maintain its elasticity over a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent performance even in variable conditions. SBR also has strong impact resistance. Its ability to absorb shocks and impacts makes it well suited for cushioning and vibration dampening applications.
Even with these advantageous performance characteristics, SBR is surprisingly affordable. Its cost effectiveness makes it a highly practical choice.
Elbex’s Expertise in SBR Extrusions
At Elbex, our team has ample experience developing and manufacturing SBR extrusions. Our custom formulation experience enables us to tailor SBR compounds to your needs, including the adjustment of properties like hardness, color, and UV resistance. We can also design complex profiles and custom shapes for specialized applications.
Regardless of whether you need standard or custom extrusions, our state-of-the-art extrusion process ensures precise dimensions, consistent quality, and optimal performance–every time.

Sealing gas and moisture with a rubber extrusion is essential in many work environments–but to do this effectively, the right type of rubber must be used. For these types of applications, butyl rubber is the go-to choice thanks to its exceptional gas and moisture impermeability, chemical resistance, and flexibility. At Elbex, our expert team can help you utilize butyl rubber to create high-quality extrusions that meet these important needs. Butyl Rubber: The Unsung Hero of Sealing Technology Butyl rubber’s unique properties make it a highly valuable and versatile option when sealing technology is needed. Its unique molecular structure makes it nearly impermeable to gasses and moisture. This makes it ideal for applications that require airtight and watertight seals. In addition, butyl offers impressive chemical resistance, ensuring longevity and reliability thanks to its resistance to a wide range of chemicals, acids, and bases. This is rounded out by the ability to maintain elasticity over a temperature range and impressive weathering resistance. This ensures that seals remain effective even in tough conditions. Elbex’s Expertise in Butyl Rubber Extrusions When you turn to Elbex for butyl rubber extensions, you gain access to industry-leading expertise. We can custom-formulate butyl rubber compounds based on your unique needs, adjusting properties like hardness, color, and flame retardancy for your application. Our engineering team can also design complex butyl rubber profiles and shapes for specialized applications. Our processes ensure precise, dependable results. Our extrusion process ensures consistent quality and dimensions to achieve optimal performance for every butyl rubber extrusion. Rigorous testing protocols are utilized throughout production to ensure each butyl rubber extrusion meets or exceeds industry standards for sealing performance and durability. Applications of Elbex’s Butyl Rubber Extrusions Butyl rubber extrusions can be used for a wide range of applications. For example, in the automotive industry, butyl’s exceptional sealing properties make it ideal for seals for car doors, windows, and sunroofs, and even in gaskets for engine components.
