Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene Block Copolymer Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- SBS
- SBS Rubber
- SBS Block Copolymer
Styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover the SBS thermoplastic elastomer used in adhesives, footwear, flexible compounds and selected bitumen-modified products. Unlike solid SBR, SBS combines styrene end blocks with a butadiene mid-block and is processed as a thermoplastic material.
Commercial grades include linear and radial structures, oil-extended grades and adhesive selections. Buyers may specify styrene content, melt flow or viscosity, hardness, tack, extender-oil type and compatibility with the resin or bitumen system.
Applications include pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesives, footwear soles, grips, flexible moulded goods, paving, roofing, waterproofing and polymer modification. SBS is also distinct from hydrogenated SEBS, which has its own service and compatibility profile.
Send the required structure, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- linear SBS, radial SBS, oil-extended SBS, adhesive grade
- Appearance
- white to pale translucent pellets, crumbs or granules according to grade
Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene Block Copolymer 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linear SBS block copolymer | solid pellets, crumbs or granules | styrene content, structure, melt flow and hardness confirmed by grade | Thermoplastic elastomer for footwear, injection-moulded parts, compounds and adhesive formulations requiring a linear SBS structure. | Confirm the required bag or bulk pack format with the quotation. |
| Radial SBS block copolymer | solid pellets or crumb | block structure, styrene content, melt flow and mechanical targets confirmed by grade | Bitumen modification, pressure-sensitive adhesives and rubber-modified products where the radial grade is part of the qualified formulation. | Confirm the required bag or bulk pack format with the quotation. |
| Oil-extended SBS | oil-extended solid pellets or crumb | extender-oil type and level, styrene content and melt flow confirmed by grade | Flexible compounds, footwear and bitumen systems that use an oil-extended block copolymer to adjust softness, processing and finished properties. | Confirm the required bag or bulk pack format with the quotation. |
| Adhesive-grade SBS | solid pellets or granules | styrene content, melt viscosity, tack and compatibility confirmed against the adhesive requirement | Hot-melt, pressure-sensitive and solvent-based adhesive systems for labels, tapes, construction products and industrial bonding. | Confirm the required bag or bulk pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer
What is styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer used for?
SBS is a thermoplastic elastomer used in footwear, pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesives, polymer compounds, flexible moulded parts and selected bitumen-modified paving, roofing and waterproofing systems.
Is SBS the same as solid SBR?
No. Solid SBR is a random styrene-butadiene elastomer used mainly in rubber compounding. SBS has styrene end blocks and a butadiene mid-block, giving it thermoplastic processing and different adhesive and modification behaviour.
What is the difference between linear and radial SBS?
Linear and radial describe the block-copolymer architecture. They can differ in melt behaviour, mechanical balance, tack and compatibility, so the structure should follow the formulation or processing specification rather than a generic SBS label.
When is oil-extended SBS selected?
Oil-extended SBS is selected when the formulation requires a softer polymer, easier processing or a particular balance of flexibility and strength. State the extender-oil requirement because it changes the basis of the grade comparison.
What information is needed for an SBS quotation?
Provide the structure, styrene content, melt-flow or viscosity target, oil-extension requirement, application, quantity, delivery location and preferred pack format. Availability and documents are confirmed with the quotation.
