SBR Rubber Parts and Counterweight Blocks
SBR is the compound to reach for when abrasion resistance and cost matter more than chemical range. We supply all kinds of rubber products made of SBR material, including counterweight blocks produced for customers in the United States. Our own structural design team can design the product structure and manufacture the mould independently, so an SBR part can start from a sketch rather than from a catalogue.
Why It Wins
Key Benefits
- Superior resistance to wear and tear in abrasive service
- A cost effective compound where chemical range is not the driver
- Low water absorption rate for damp environments
- Non toxic and safe for a range of applications
- Product structure design and mould manufacture handled independently by us
The Brief
Problems It Solves
- Parts worn out early because the compound was not chosen for abrasion
- Over specifying an expensive compound where SBR would serve
- Designs that exist only as an idea and need a structure before tooling
- Suppliers who will only quote from an existing drawing
Audience
Who It Is For
- Equipment builders needing a hard wearing moulded rubber part
- Buyers sourcing counterweight components
- Companies whose part is too specific for a catalogue supplier
- Customers who need the structure designed as well as the part made
In Service
Application Scenarios
- Counterweight and damping blocks
- Abrasion exposed rubber parts in mechanical equipment
- General moulded rubber components across industries
- Roller coverings where SBR suits the duty

Honest Comparison
Where This Is the Right Choice and Where It Is Not
Compared With NBR
NBR is chosen for oil and fuel contact. SBR is chosen for abrasion resistance and cost where oil is not present.
Compared With Natural rubber
Natural rubber has excellent resilience, while SBR generally offers better abrasion resistance in service.
Compared With EPDM
EPDM leads on ozone and weather exposure. SBR is the more economical abrasion compound.
Use Guide
How to Specify and Order This Part
Describe the loading and abrasion the part will see
Confirm there is no oil or fuel contact before choosing SBR
Send a drawing, a sample or a concept sketch
State the annual volume so the tool is sized correctly
Approve the first article physically before series production

SBR Rubber Parts and Counterweight Blocks Questions
Can you design the part as well as make it?
Yes. We have our own structural design team and can design the product structure and manufacture the mould independently.
What is SBR good for?
Abrasion resistance, low water absorption and general weather resistance at economical cost. It is not the compound for oil or fuel contact.
Do you make counterweight blocks?
Yes. Counterweight blocks in SBR are one of the parts we produce.
Can you work from a concept rather than a drawing?
Yes. That is what having our own structural design team is for.
What is the minimum order?
It depends on the part and the tool. We will tell you at quotation.
How fast is a quotation?
One working day once we have the part details and quantity.
