LANXESS strengthens standing as leading high-performance rubber producer
E-SBR is mainly used in the manufacturing and retreading of truck tires, which means tire carcasses can be reused several times, thus saving raw materials for tire production.
LANXESS produces S-SBR and neodymium-based performance butadiene rubber (Nd-PBR) sold under the Buna brand name. Global growth for both rubber types is estimated at roughly 10 percent per year, up to 2017, as consumers shift to more fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly “Green Tires”.
