Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) block copolymer is one of the most highly consumed industrial product that witnesses diverse industrial applications. Large scale expansions across industries such as automotive, consumer goods, as well as construction are likely to reflect profitably on global SBS block copolymer market. Multi industrial applications based on its chemical and physical properties make SBS block copolymer an integral industrial raw material. Styrene butadine rubber is a variant of synthetic rubber which is obtained from styrene and butadiene. Owing to its exceptional strength and robust built, SBS block copolymer is used extensively as a natural rubber

Styrene-butadiene-styrene or SBS is a high in demand type of synthetic rubber that is comprised of three segments such as polystyrene, polybutadiene, and a long strand of polystyrene. Owing to exceptional robust nature of polystyrene, SBS attains its immense durability and elasticity. Owing to its tremendously unusual chemical properties, SBS is also used as a thermoplastic elastomer. Essentially, thermoplastic elastomers are rubber at room temperature, but when exposed to thermal variation, these very elastomeric rubbers function as plastics. Owing to its high flexibility and rubber nature, SBS blocks can be molded into diverse shapes.

End User Applications such as Automobile and Footwear Industries to Remain Chief Adopters of SBS Block Copolymers

Styrene butadine styrene block copolymers are commercially most sought after elastomer. Owing to their intense flexibility and merging capabilities, styrene butadiene styrene are blended with a variety of polymers inclusive of oil and fillers. SBS copolymer is known for its high tensile resistance. SBS copolymers are increasingly used in various rubber based end products such as gaskets and sealants, bands, show soles as well as rubber based toys. Additionally, SBS block copolymers are in recent years witnessing multiple applications across infrastructure development activities like in roofing and paving expeditions. They are also amply used as impact resistant substances for plastics. Styrene butadiene styrene copolymer block is volatile at low temperatures and therefore it remains highly susceptible to weathering and degradation.

Owing to its diverse application diversity, styrene butadiene Styrene (SBS) block copolymer remains one of the most preferred variants of synthetic rubber owing to its favorable properties. Automobile industry likely to remain a chief adopter of large scale SBS block copolymer and the trend is expected to remain prevalent with exponential growth in the automobile industry. Natural rubber which has long served the car manufacturing industry by providing affordable and sturdy tires, are soon taking a back seat with SBS block copolymers emerging as a significant substitute backed by superlative abrasion resistance properties.

With butadiene remaining the majority in SBS copolymers, the compound is primarily copolymerized to attain elongated multiple-unit structure. The polymers are subject to cross linking in vulcanization process. Owing to its versatile impact resistance characteristics such as high abrasion resistance and longevity, SBS block copolymers continue to garner larger acceptance, also because of its economic availability. Factors as such are estimated to encourage thumping growth in SBS block copolymers market in foreseeable future.

Additives and Fillers are Used Extensively to Enhance Properties and to Keep Expenditure Minimum for SBS block Copolymers

A range of influential factors associated with SBS block copolymers have paved its enormous usage. The potential factors which make SBS block copolymers a superlative choice over natural rubber encompass easy processing, longevity, and impact resistance which contribute towards higher commercial availability. Also, SBS block copolymers are easily available at affordable pricing. SBS block copolymers are also further improvised with various additives such as sulphur during the vulcanization process. Fillers and additives great aid in enhancing the properties of SBS block copolymers further, besides elongating the bonds to keep pricing low.

Some of the commonly used fillers used in SBS block copolymers include, carbon black, silica, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum silicates. These specific additives ensure higher tensile strength, besides minimizing abrasion and implications of UV exposure. This unique property encourages rampant adoption in the tire industry. Additives such as silica ensures robust functionality with improved tensile capabilities and thermal properties. Additionally, other fillers and additives are also used extensively such as pigments which enhance color properties and visual appeal. These advances in the production process further amplify growth ratios in global SBS block copolymers market.

Inorganic Growth Strategies such as M&A Collaborations to Remain Staple Growth Propellants

Synthetic rubber industry is an ever-growing and thriving industry with several developments reinstating further growth. This onward rise in the synthetic rubber space is also reflecting enormously on SBS block copolymer market owing to its optimum functional abilities as synthetic rubber. Leading manufacturers, stakeholders and market participants are therefore striving relentlessly to explore the space, in order to retain their lead amidst staggering competition in global SBS copolymer block market.

Orange Based Lion Elastomers Acquires Firestone Polymers to Fuel SBS Block Copolymer Production

Business strategies such as M&A besides organic methods of portfolio diversification continue to ensure overwhelming growth in global SBS block copolymer market. To cite an instance in this regard, Lion Elastomers, best known for its superlative synthetic rubber offerings such as SBS copolymer block has recently closed its acquisition deal of Texas based Firestone Polymers, widely known for its tire offerings. The deal has been locked for an undisclosed amount and is also likely to benefit styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) block copolymer market.

This Orange based facility of Lion Elastomers caters to the widening and user applications in styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) copolymer block along with polybutadiene compounds. The recent acquisition deal is poised to benefit large scale production facilities besides also fuelling the company's geographical growth aspirations, thereby pushing growth in global SBS block copolymers market.

Besides tangible adoption across aforementioned end-use applications, SBS block copolymers market is likely to pick up momentum with advances in the construction industry. SBS block copolymer are used enormously to offer high end flooring solutions with diverse design availability as well as to ensure optimum environmental protection. It is used massively across commercial projects for its overt elasticity and compatibility with other building components.
