Application
Polybutadiene has a high resistance to wear.
Composition
cis-1,4, 5%
trans-1,4, 10%
vinyl, 45%
Features And Benefits
Polybutadiene has a high resistance to wear and is used especially in the manufacture of tires, which consumes about 70% of the production. Another 25% is used as an additive to improve the toughness (impact resistance) of plastics such as polystyrene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
