Polybutadiene Rubber Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- BR
- Butadiene Rubber
Polybutadiene rubber supplier in Malaysia for tyre, mechanical rubber, plastics and polymer compounding requirements. Commonly shortened to BR or called butadiene rubber, it is the homopolymer of 1,3-butadiene and is distinct from styrene-butadiene rubber and nitrile-butadiene copolymers.
Commercial requirements include high-cis BR for resilient tyre and rubber compounds, oil-extended grades for specified mixing systems, impact-modifier grades for selected plastics and general rubber-compounding material. Solid bales and blocks are common, with crumb forms used for some processes.
Tyre makers blend BR into tread and sidewall compounds, while industrial rubber processors use it in belts, hoses, footwear, wheels, rollers and moulded goods. Plastics producers may select a dedicated polybutadiene grade as an impact-modifying rubber phase, with microstructure and viscosity matched to the process.
Send the required grade, form, receiving specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and polybutadiene rubber price is offered with a stated validity period.

Polybutadiene Rubber grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-cis polybutadiene rubber | solid elastomer in bales or blocks | — | Tyre compounds and mechanical rubber goods where the compound designer specifies high-cis BR for resilience, abrasion performance and blending with natural rubber or other synthetic elastomers. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Oil-extended polybutadiene rubber | solid oil-extended rubber in bales or blocks | — | Rubber compounding that calls for a defined extender-oil package to support mixing and processing. State the required grade and oil content rather than substituting a non-extended BR. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Impact-modifier polybutadiene rubber | manufacturer-defined solid bale, block or crumb form | — | Toughening of selected plastics and resin systems where the process requires a polybutadiene rubber phase with specified viscosity and microstructure. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| General rubber-compounding BR | solid bales, blocks or crumb | — | Footwear, wheels, rollers, belts, hoses and moulded rubber goods where the compound specification names BR and defines the processing and finished-part performance required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about Polybutadiene rubber
Is polybutadiene rubber the same as SBR?
No. Polybutadiene rubber is a homopolymer of 1,3-butadiene. SBR is a styrene-butadiene copolymer. They are often blended in tyre and mechanical rubber compounds, but the two polymers have separate identities and grade specifications.
What does high-cis BR mean?
High-cis describes the dominant arrangement of the butadiene units in the polymer microstructure. It is a major grade distinction for tyre and rubber compounding because microstructure affects resilience, processing and final compound behaviour.
How does oil-extended BR differ from non-extended BR?
Oil-extended grades include an extender-oil package as part of the supplied rubber, while non-extended grades do not. State the permitted oil type and content in the receiving specification because the two cannot be substituted solely on the basis of polymer name.
Which forms of polybutadiene rubber can be requested?
Solid bales and blocks are common for rubber compounding, while crumb forms may suit selected handling or modification processes. Include the required form with the grade, quantity and mixing process in the enquiry.
What specifications should a BR buyer provide?
Give the required microstructure or grade, Mooney viscosity, volatile matter, ash, colour, stabiliser and any extender-oil limits. A current compound or receiving specification is the clearest basis for matching an offer.
What details are needed for a polybutadiene rubber quotation?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Add preferred packing and documentation requirements so those details can be confirmed with the quotation and stated validity period.
