Natural rubber: Under general wear conditions, natural rubber has good wear resistance. Especially in low-temperature environments below 15 degrees, its wear resistance is superior to that of styrene butadiene rubber.
Styrene butadiene rubber: Under high temperature conditions, styrene butadiene rubber exhibits excellent wear resistance. At the same time, when the temperature is above 15 degrees, its wear resistance is also better than natural rubber. In addition, the benzene ring in styrene butadiene rubber contains conjugated double bond groups, which can absorb and distribute external energy, protect the macromolecular chain from damage, and thus improve wear resistance.
Butadiene rubber: Under harsh conditions such as high speeds, polybutadiene rubber has the best wear resistance. The wear resistance of its vulcanized rubber increases with the increase of the content of cis chain links (1,4 structure).
Polyurethane rubber: containing conjugated benzene rings, its wear resistance ranks among the top in various rubbers, more than 4 times higher than natural rubber and styrene butadiene rubber. However, it should be noted that its wear resistance will sharply decrease at high temperatures.
Other rubbers, such as chloroprene rubber and nitrile rubber, also have good wear resistance and can be selected according to specific application scenarios.
