SBR Rubber Products
Rubber products moulded from SBR, including counterweight blocks supplied to American customers.
Product Overview
Rubber products moulded from SBR, including counterweight blocks supplied to American customers. An in-house structural design team designs the product structure and manufactures the mould independently, so a part can be developed from a requirement rather than from a finished drawing. SBR offers weather and abrasion resistance with a low water absorption rate, and it is non-toxic.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Design and Mould Made In-House
Having the structural design team and the mould shop under one roof means one party is responsible from concept to first article. Most rubber part problems live in the gap between designer and mould maker.
Abrasion Resistance
SBR offers superior resistance to wear and tear, which is the property that decides service life on rollers, pads and wear components.
Low Water Absorption
A low water absorption rate means the part does not swell and lose dimension in wet service.
Cost-Effective Material
SBR gives adequate mechanical performance at a materially lower cost than speciality elastomers, which matters on bulk items like counterweight blocks.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Counterweight blocks for equipment
- Wear pads and abrasion-resistant components
- General industrial rubber mouldings
- Products requiring weather resistance
- Parts in wet service needing low water absorption
- Custom rubber components developed from a requirement
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Equipment Manufacturers
Counterweight blocks and similar moulded components are supplied on this material.
Buyers Without a Finished Design
The in-house structural design team develops the part structure and the mould independently.
Cost-Sensitive Applications
SBR is the economical choice wherever speciality chemical or temperature resistance is not required.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Parts That Wear Out Under Abrasion
SBR offers superior resistance to wear and tear.
Rubber Swelling in Wet Service
A low water absorption rate keeps the part dimensionally stable.
No Design or Tooling Capability
Structural design and mould manufacture are both carried out in-house.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Send the function and load rather than only a drawing, so the structure can be designed to it.
Step 2
Confirm the service environment, since SBR is not suitable for oil exposure.
Step 3
Discuss tooling cost and amortisation against your expected volume.
Step 4
Ask for a first article from the new mould before production.
Step 5
Specify hardness in Shore A for the intended duty.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
SBR against the other general rubbers.
| SBR Rubber | Weather and abrasion resistant, low water absorption, non-toxic and economical. Not suitable for oil service. |
|---|---|
| EPDM | Better ozone, weather and steam resistance, used for seals rather than for bulk moulded components. |
FAQ
SBR Rubber Products Questions
What products can you make from SBR?
All kinds of rubber products, including counterweight blocks.
Do you design the part as well as make it?
Yes. We have our own structural design team and can design product structure and manufacture the mould independently.
What are SBR's main properties?
Weather resistance, superior abrasion resistance, a low water absorption rate, and it is non-toxic.
Is SBR suitable for oil exposure?
No. For oil service, nitrile or a fluoroelastomer is the correct material.
Do we pay for the mould?
Moulds are quoted separately from the piece price. Confirm your volume so tooling can be amortised sensibly.
What quantities do you handle?
From sample quantities through to production runs.

Selecting an O-Ring Material NBR EPDM FKM or FFKM
Almost every seal failure is a material selection error rather than a dimensional one. The fluid and the temperature decide the elastomer, and the size is the easy part.
