SBR Seals: Advanced Styrene Butadiene Rubber Sealing Solutions
How CTG Specializes in SBR Seal Manufacturing
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

- Non-petroleum fluid sealing
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?
