Styrene-butadiene rubber production capacity profile

According to the synthetic rubber producers in the world is estimated [cited 2002 World styrene-butadiene rubber production capacity of 4,558,000 tons, of which emulsion styrene butadiene rubber production capacity of 3,540,000 tons / year. At present, the world has more than 30 sets of SSBR plant, with a total production capacity of more than 1,000,000 tons / year. Over the past decade, Europe and the United States emulsion styrene butadiene rubber plant to over-capacity, low capacity utilization, and SSBR devices while operating rate of 80%.
6 sets of our existing SBR plant, 4 sets of equipment for the production of ESBR, 2 sets to devices SSBR production, with a total production capacity of 410,000 tons / year. Although the share of production capacity SSBR Ll:, f ~ J nearly 21.4 percent, but because of the quality of products, brands and production technology, and many other reasons, the possession of a small domestic market share, operating rate has been low.
