Suitable for a wide range of rubber applications, our portfolio of rubber polymers and additives includes thermoplastic elastomers, synthetic elastomers and a large variety of additives (e.g., fillers, plasticizers, crosslinkers, stabilizers).

For applications required to perform in demanding environments, our rubber polymers and additives offer optimum performance across a range of temperatures and weather conditions. Offering excellent tensile strength and enhanced processing efficiency, they deliver finished rubber goods with optimal improvement of chemical and physical properties. 

An extensive portfolio for rubber applications

Rubber polymers and additives deliver a variety of features that can be tailored to specific application needs:

  • Chlorinated rubber – Chemical resistance
  • EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) – Outstanding weather resistance
  • FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) – Excellent chemical stability
  • FKM (fluoroelastomer) – High chemical and heat resistance
  • NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) – Excellent oil resistance
  • SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) – Good abrasion resistance
  • SR (silicone rubber) – High elasticity
  • Elastomer additive – Improved processing
  • Rubber additives – Enhanced durability
  • Rubber crumbs – Recycled-performance applications
