Synthetic Rubbers

Based on 582 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Synthetic rubbers are known for outstanding tack, excellent cohesive strength, excellent flexibility across wide temperature ranges, good aging resistance, and exceptional elongation properties. Synthetic rubbers are perfect for pressure-sensitive adhesives, construction sealants, and assembly operations. 

Major types include styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, polyisoprene, and polybutadiene varieties. Recent innovations focus on hydrogenated synthetic rubbers with improved weathering and oxidation resistance, expanding application possibilities in demanding outdoor environments.

Resonac Chloroprene AF

by Resonac (formerly Showa Denko)

Resonac Chloroprene AF by Resonac (formerly Showa Denko) is a carboxylated chloroprene copolymer. It has a slow crystallization strength and milling normally is required for optimum solution quality. It provides the rapid bond strength development and the greatest hot bond strength.<br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>Excessive time and temperature of storage can cause a change in color and an increase in viscosity.</li> <li>It is primarily used in contact adhesives that require very high initial and ultimate bond strength and the ability to form bonds with minimum pressure over short open assembly periods.</li> <li>The compounded adhesives offer high cohesive strength derived from reaction with metal oxides.</li> <li>Resonac Chloroprene AF is used in demanding applications such as heat-formed high-pressure laminates and automotive trim attachments.</li></ul>

Resonac Chloroprene 671A

by Resonac (formerly Showa Denko)

Resonac Chloroprene 671A by Resonac (formerly Showa Denko) is a high solid, anionic, aqueous dispersion of a high-gel chloroprene polymer. It offers a high wet gel strength and medium-slow crystallization rate. It has good storage stability, but pH decreases with time, and the rate depends on temperature and air exposure. The decrease is indicative of structural changes in the polymer and alterations in the colloidal properties of the latex. Resonac Chloroprene 671A is primarily used in dipped goods applications and is suitable for elastomer-based adhesives.
