SBR Gaskets
Key Properties
- Durometer: 20A – 90A
- Cost-effective elastomer
- Good abrasion resistance
- Good water resistance
- Flexible and durable
- General-purpose sealing
Why specify SBR for gaskets?
SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) is the synthetic analog of natural rubber and the most economical solid elastomer in our gasket inventory. Cannon Gasket die-cuts custom SBR gaskets for applications where moderate performance is acceptable and unit cost is the driving specification.
Properties of SBR gaskets
Cannon Gasket cuts SBR gaskets to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of 20A to 90A Shore hardness. Good resistance to water, air, dilute acids and bases, and abrasion. Not recommended for oils, fuels, ozone, UV exposure, or elevated temperatures.
SBR tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on SBR gasketsland around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades. Cannon Gasket cuts SBR to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.
How SBR Performs
- Good abrasion resistance, tear strength, and tensile strength. - Moderate resistance to water and dilute acids. - Poor resistance to oils, fuels, ozone, and weather.
Where SBR Gaskets Are Specified
Sealing dry mechanical assemblies, dust covers, vibration pads, and applications where the gasket is not exposed to oil, fuel, ozone, or sunlight. Commonly used in tires, conveyor belt cover stock, and industrial pads, but also a viable budget specification for sealed indoor industrial assemblies.
When to Choose Another Material
For any application with oil, ozone, weather, or sustained temperature, specify Buna-N, EPDM, or Viton. SBR is the right choice only when those exposures are absent and unit cost matters.
Manufacturing Methods
Die-cut and steel-rule-cut. Cost-effective on large or simple gaskets where premium materials are not required.
