As measured by the global turnover, butadiene rubber (BR) is the second most important rubber after styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). BR is formed by the polymerization of butadiene. Products made of BR offer very high resilience, good insulation properties, abrasion resistance, and remain flexible at low temperatures. According to the most recent study by the market research institute Ceresana, worldwide consumption for this elastomer type amounts to about 3.44 million tonnes per year. The ... Read more

Butadiene, also known as 1, 3-butadiene, is an important organic compound that is utilized as a key ingredient in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber and plastics. Butadiene is produced from petroleum feedstocks via processes such as steam cracking of naphtha and extracting from off-gases of certain chemical manufacturing processes. It is a colorless gas with a mild aromatic odor. The global butadiene market is estimated to be valued at US$ 15681.17 Bn in 2023 and is ... Read more
