SBR's development history

By the late 20th century, 50, the United States Philips adoption of a lithium polymer anion lead to the successful development of the SSBR (SSBR), and in 1964 achieved the industrial production. SSBR commonly used for industrial production of alkyl lithium, and is based on BuLi as initiator or the use of paraffin cycloalkanes for solvents, alcohol for the termination of the agent, no agent for THF. However, due to poor performance SSBR processing, the application has not been faster. The late 70s, the tire is demanding higher and higher on the structure and properties of rubber is also a higher demand, combined with polymer technology to enable faster SSBR.

In the early 1980s, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands Duniop company Shell companies through the design polymer technology to develop new low-rolling-resistance SSBR products. Dutch Shell's login and Tire & P companies to jointly develop a new type of product SSBR, Japan Synthetic Rubber Company and Bridgestone Corporation to jointly develop a new type of tin-coupled SSBR such as SSBR second-generation product, which marks the SSBR production technology has entered a New stage.

China's development SSBR late 1982 Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Corporation Research Institute of n-butyl lithium - tetrahydrofuran - the system of cyclohexane and styrene butadiene copolymer had a small pilot study in 1984 conducted a amplification testing, 1989 A novel can SSBR, 1kt level of the successful development of the plant, in 1996 Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Corporation to develop the success of 10kt class SSBR line with the relevant authorities to cooperate in automobile tires, bicycle tires, rubber shoes, sundries and modified bitumen Have been carried out in areas such as applied research. Beijing Rubber Industry Research and Design Institute SSBR of the basic physical properties, processing and evaluation of the performance of the tire tread formula, and so on were studied.
