Versatile performance specialist
The business unit TSR (Tire & Specialty Rubbers) of­L ANXESS is the world´s leading supplier of high quality rubbers for the tire industry and for other highly demanding rubber related industries. With a truly global production footprint,
TSR has the scale needed to tackle supply driven ­challenges
throughout the entire rubber supply chain. With comprehensive rubber know-how, research and development and application technology under one roof, we offer a broad portfolio
of versatile elastomers, such as butyl and butadiene rubbers,that are predominantly used in the production of tires. Our
butyl rubber products, such as halogenated butyl rubbers(Halobutyl), are used in the innerliner of tires to provide excellent retention of the desired inflated pressure. Our solution
styrene butadiene rubbers (S-SBR), Buna VSL, and neodymium catalyzed butadiene r­ ubbers (Nd-BR), Buna CB and Buna
Nd EZ, are used in treads, sidewalls and other components oftires. Also included in our portfolio are the general purpose
emulsion styrene butadiene rubbers ­(E-SBR), Buna SE.

Properties

Applications

The Buna® Nd EZ family of products is a new generationof high-cis butadiene rubbers that presents a modified­polymeric structure that enables remarkable improvementsin the processing performance of rubber compounds but
without sacrificing dynamic properties. This new family of
butadiene rubber catalyzed by neodymium has a very high
1.4-cis content combined with a low 1.2-vinyl content and anarrow molecular weight distribution but has an increased
degree of branching when compared to our standard Nd–
BR family of products.

Typical applications are tires, retreads, conveyor belts and­anti-vibration bushings etc. It can be blended with NR forgood having thick sections thereby providing high resistance to heat induced reversion (such as buffers and truck
tire treads) and roll covers and belts needing high abrasion
resistance and reduced rolling resistance. With S-SBR they
can blended to improve abrasion resistance and rolling resistance in tire tread sections. Provided that the compounds areformulated and processed correctly, the vulcanizates havegood resistance to aging, reversion, abrasion and flex cracking with good low temperature flexibility and high r­ esilience.

This increased degree of branching leads to a lower final
compound viscosity and improved downstream processing
on the mill or extruder for example. Subsequently the modified structure leads to improved polymer phase distribution
and therefore improved filler distribution which results in excellent dynamic properties. These new grades of easy processing Nd–BR overcome the conflict between superior tire
properties and challenging processing.

One of the advantages of Buna® Nd EZ is the easy processing

BUTADIENE RUBBERFOR PLASTIC MODIFICATIONLANXESS butadiene rubbers for plastic modification are produced by a solution polymerization process which enables
the production of very pure, virtually gel-free, very clear andalmost colorless products. These rubbers are ­manufactured
either in an anionic process or using Ziegler-Natta catalyst
systems. The use of organometallic catalysts produces
highly uniform polymers that are particularly suited for use
in high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and for the mass-solution p­ olymerization of acrylonitrile-­butadiene-styrene resins(m-ABS).

Macrostructure of Butadiene Rubbers
The use of the different types of polymerization systems influences the macrostructure of the final polymers that may
be linear or branched having a significant effect over the rhe-ological behavior of the rubber itself, such as in its solution
viscosity, Mooney viscosity and cold flow. The properties of
HIPS are also significantly affected by the macrostructure of
the rubber used.

The Buna® FX product group is a brand new family of highperformance solution styrene butadiene rubber (S-SBR) thatcompliments the popular Buna® VSL family. This grade has
been functionalised with polar groups to increase the interaction with silica fillers. This reduces the hysteresis inside thetread compound thus reducing the rolling resistance of thetire. Traction indicators have also been improved.
The first grade – Buna® FX 3234A-2 HM – has a Mooney­Viscosity of 80 after the addition of 37,5 phr of TDAE oil.
The high Mooney imparts excellent treadwear performance.
The high styrene content set at 34 % imparts a high levelof ­dynamic stiffness making the grade especially suitablefor high performance summer tires. The glass transition­temperature of the product comes in at -30 °C.

BUTADIENE RUBBERProperties

Applications

Properties

Applications

Solution Vinyl Styrene Butadiene rubbers have a modified
microstructure with a higher vinyl content than for ­example­
Buna® SL grades. Their vinyl and styrene contents increase
the Tg values which enable an excellent balance of important properties in tire compounds like handling, traction andr­olling resistance to be achieved provided that the compounds­ are formulated and processed correctly. Due toour vast experience with these kinds of synthetic rubbers,­L ANXESS can offer a broad portfolio of different types of
S -SBRs such as a wide range in microstructure (vinyl/­­
styrene), varied types of coupling, adjusted glass transition
temperature (Tg), targeted functionalizations and Mooneyviscosity values. ­Vulcanizates prepared with these rubberspresent a good ­resistance to reversion and a good resilience,
besides keeping flexibility at relatively low temperatures.

Typical applications are tires, mainly high performance tires.
Buna® VSL is used, for example, as a component in the polymer blend of tire treads to improve grip and rolling

Provided that the compounds are formulated and processed
correctly, the vulcanizates have good resistance to reversion. The low temperature flexibility, resilience and abrasion
resistance depend on the polymer´s styrene and vinyl content. The low vinyl content provides a low Tg which gives an
excellent low temperature flexibility, abrasion resistance andlow rolling resistance.

Buna® SL has excellent properties in the manufacture oftires, retreads, moulded technical parts, injected or extruded
goods, surgical goods, shoe soles and automotive industry
parts. In tire manufacture it is blended with NR, BR or emulsion SBR.

HALOGENATED
BUTYL RUBBER (HIIR)

Properties

Applications

Properties

Applications

Butyl rubbers are copolymers of isobutylene with small
amounts of isoprene. The incorporation of isoprene creates
double bonds allowing vulcanization with sulfur and otheragents.

The vulcanizate properties of LANXESS X_Butyl™ make itparticularly suitable for a variety of rubber products, such astire inner tubes, curing bladders and protective clothing.

LANXESS Halogenated X_Butyl™ Rubber (Bromobutyl
and Chlorobutyl) is produced in a continuous process byreacting bromine or chlorine with butyl rubber. Halogenation a­llows co-vulcanization and improved compatibility
with o­ ther d­ iene­rubbers in addition to improvements in the­vulcanization rates, states of cure and reversion resistance.

Many of the properties of halobutyl vulcanizates are virtually identical, regardless of the halogen employed. With
bromobutyl rubber however, the bromine sites are morereactive, resulting in faster cures and better adhesion to­unsaturated rubbers. The versatility of halobutyl rubber has
led to a significant growth of its use in a diverse range of tireand non-tire applications.
