The role of natural rubber in the tire industry and its differences with synthetic rubber
Natural rubber remains a key component in modern tire production thanks to its superior elasticity and fatigue resistance. Synthetic rubbers like SBR and NBR, however, offer higher heat and chemical resistance. Combining both materials delivers optimal tire performance, balancing flexibility, strength, and environmental sustainability.
EPDM
EPDM is a weather-resistant synthetic rubber used in automotive seals, roofing, and insulation applications requiring UV, ozone, and heat stability.
