What Is Polybutadiene Rubber?

Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) is a high-performance synthetic elastomer produced through the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene monomers. As the second most widely consumed synthetic rubber globally after styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber accounts for approximately 25% of total synthetic rubber production worldwide.

PBR is manufactured using advanced catalyst systems, including Ziegler-Natta catalysts, neodymium-based catalysts, and anionic polymerization techniques. Each catalyst system produces different microstructures that determine the final properties and performance characteristics of the rubber compound.

Renowned for its outstanding abrasion resistance, exceptional elasticity, and superior low-temperature flexibility, polybutadiene rubber has become an indispensable raw material across multiple industries, from tire manufacturing and automotive engineering to consumer goods and industrial equipment.

Key Properties of Polybutadiene Rubber

Property Performance
Resilience & Elasticity Rebound resilience exceeding 90% in high-cis grades, ideal for dynamic applications
Glass Transition Temperature Extremely low Tg (−100°C to −90°C), maintaining flexibility in cold environments
Abrasion Resistance Outstanding wear resistance, especially when compounded with carbon black and silica fillers
Hysteresis & Rolling Resistance Minimal energy loss during cyclic deformation, improving fuel efficiency in tires
Aging & Ozone Resistance Long-term mechanical integrity when stabilized with antioxidants and antiozonants
Chemical Resistance Good resistance to water, dilute acids, and alkalis; limited resistance to aromatic solvents and petroleum oils

Polybutadiene Rubber Grades We Supply

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of polybutadiene rubber grades to meet diverse industrial requirements. Our technical team helps you select the optimal grade based on your processing conditions, performance targets, and cost objectives.

High Cis Polybutadiene Rubber (Cis-1,4 Content >96%)

Our most requested grade is manufactured using neodymium (Nd), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), or titanium (Ti) catalyst systems. Contains more than 96% cis-1,4 configuration, delivering the highest resilience, best low-temperature performance, and superior abrasion resistance among all PBR types.

Recommended For: Tire manufacturing, high-performance rubber goods, and polymer modification.

Low Cis Polybutadiene Rubber (Cis-1,4 Content 35–40%)

Produced through anionic lithium-based polymerization with a balanced combination of trans-1,4 and vinyl-1,2 structural units. Offers controlled elasticity and superior processability for versatile applications.

Recommended For: Shoe soles, general rubber goods, and blending with other elastomers.

High Vinyl Polybutadiene Rubber (Vinyl-1,2 Content >70%)

Contains a significant proportion of 1,2-vinyl structural units, providing a higher glass transition temperature compared to high-cis grades. Suited for applications requiring controlled damping characteristics and improved wet grip.

Recommended For: High-performance tire treads, impact modifiers, and specialty compounds.

Polybutadiene Rubber vs. Natural Rubber vs. SBR

Selecting the right elastomer is critical for achieving your desired product performance. Below is a comparison to help you evaluate polybutadiene rubber against natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).

Property Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) Natural Rubber (NR) SBR
Abrasion Resistance Excellent Good Good
Resilience Excellent (>90%) Very Good (80%) Fair (60%)
Low-Temperature Flexibility Excellent (Tg: −100°C) Good (Tg: −70°C) Fair (Tg: −55°C)
Wet Grip Fair Good Excellent
Tensile Strength Moderate Excellent Moderate
Rolling Resistance Very Low Low Moderate
Tear Resistance Fair Excellent Good
Processability Moderate Good Excellent
Cost Moderate Variable Low–Moderate

Many of our clients use optimized blends of two or all three elastomers. Our team can advise on the most cost-effective formulation strategy for your products.

Applications and Industries We Serve

Our polybutadiene rubber is trusted by manufacturers across diverse sectors worldwide.

Tire Manufacturing

Tire production consumes approximately 70% of global PBR output. We supply high-cis polybutadiene to leading tire manufacturers who blend it with natural rubber and SBR to achieve optimal performance.

Tire Treads: PBR improves abrasion resistance and reduces rolling resistance, contributing to longer tire life and better fuel economy. Modern fuel-efficient tires typically contain 20–40% polybutadiene rubber in their tread compounds.

Sidewalls: Exceptional flex-fatigue resistance and low heat buildup make PBR ideal for sidewall compounds that must withstand millions of flexing cycles without cracking.

Inner Liners and Carcass: PBR contributes to overall tire durability and dimensional stability under varying temperature and load conditions.

Automotive Components

Our polybutadiene rubber is used in engine mounts, suspension bushings, hoses, belts, seals, and gaskets. Its combination of high durability, vibration damping, and temperature resistance makes PBR essential for modern vehicle engineering.

Footwear Industry

PBR-based outsoles deliver superior wear resistance, flexibility, and ground traction while maintaining lightweight comfort. Widely used in athletic and work footwear manufacturing.

Golf Ball Manufacturing

We supply high-cis PBR grades specifically optimized for golf ball core production, where exceptional resilience and energy return properties ensure maximum distance and consistent performance.

Impact Modification of Plastics

High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS): Contains 6–12% dispersed polybutadiene rubber particles that absorb impact energy and prevent crack propagation.

ABS Resins: PBR provides the butadiene component, contributing essential impact resistance to this widely used engineering plastic.

Industrial Rubber Products

  • Conveyor Belts: Outstanding abrasion resistance for mining and material handling operations
  • Vibration Isolation Mounts: Effective vibration absorption for industrial machinery
  • Industrial Rollers and Wheels: Durability and resilience in printing, textile, and manufacturing equipment
  • Tubing and Hose Covers: Flexibility and wear resistance for fluid transfer systems

Adhesives, Sealants & Additional Applications

PBR is used in pressure-sensitive adhesives, structural adhesives, and rubber-based sealants for tapes, labels, and construction applications. Additional uses include sporting goods, rubber bands, wire and cable insulation, and waterproofing membranes.

PBR in Plastic and Adhesive Compounding

In certain plastic compounding and adhesive formulations, Polyethylene Wax can be combined with polybutadiene rubber to improve melt flow, processing efficiency, and surface finish quality. We supply both products and can provide integrated sourcing solutions for your compounding operations.
