CTG leverages advanced rubber molding technology to manufacture high-performance SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) seals, also known as Buna-S or GR-S. Our precision manufacturing processes ensure consistent quality and optimal performance characteristics for demanding industrial applications. We maintain tight quality control throughout production to deliver seals that meet or exceed industry standards.
What Are SBR Seals?
SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) seals are synthetic rubber components manufactured from a copolymer of styrene and butadiene. These versatile sealing solutions offer:
Excellent abrasion resistance
Good tensile strength and tear resistance
Wide hardness range capabilities
Cost-effective performance
Good aging characteristics
Reliable performance in moderate temperatures
Strong resistance to water and many chemicals
Superior wear properties

SBR Seals Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range can SBR seals handle?
SBR seals typically perform well in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 225°F, making them suitable for most general-purpose applications.
How do SBR seals compare to Natural Rubber seals?
SBR offers similar properties to natural rubber but with better heat aging and abrasion resistance. While tensile strength may be slightly lower, SBR provides more consistent performance and better weathering resistance.
Are SBR seals oil resistant?
SBR has limited resistance to oils and hydrocarbons. For applications involving oil exposure, our engineering team can recommend more suitable materials like Nitrile (NBR) or other oil-resistant compounds.
What makes CTG’s SBR seals stand out?
