SBR rubber

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is the go-to general-purpose rubber: economical, hard-wearing and easy to cut. It suits gaskets, pads and protective parts that are not exposed to oils or to prolonged outdoor conditions.

How to read our references

Every reference says what the material is: type, hardness, colour and options. Two references that look alike always differ in at least one of these parts.

NR
material or kind of product (NR = natural rubber, EPDM, NBR, SIL = silicone, MAT = matting, LAG = pulley lagging…)
45
hardness in Shore A
RD
colour (BK black, RD red, YE yellow, OG orange, BU blue, WH white, GY grey…)
BL
options: BL bonding layer for cold bonding, FB fabric-reinforced, E economy, P premium, FG food grade…

BL (bonding layer): the back of the sheet carries a bonding layer, ready to be glued cold to steel or rubber — the usual choice for linings, chutes and pulley lagging. Without BL, the sheet is used loose, bolted or glued with a primer.
