There are many high-shun butadiene rubber manufacturers in my country, and rare earth-based high-shun butadiene rubber is an emerging product.

High cis-butadiene rubber refers to polybutadiene rubber with a cis-1,4-polybutadiene content of greater than 96%. Compared with low-shun butadiene rubber, high-shun butadiene rubber has the advantages of good mechanical properties, good flexural resistance, high elasticity, and good dynamic performance. It is widely used in the fields of cold-resistant products and wear-resistant products. According to the different catalysts used, high-shun butadiene rubber can be divided into three types: rare earth series, cobalt series and nickel series.

The main raw material of high-shun butadiene rubber is butadiene. Butadiene, also known as vinyl ethylene, is an important chemical raw material. my country is the world’s largest butadiene producer. Attracted by market prospects, local companies have expanded production, driving their production capacity and output to continue to increase. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s high-shun butadiene rubber industry.

High-shun butadiene rubber can be subdivided into three types: rare earth series, cobalt series and nickel series. Nickel-based high-shun butadiene rubber is a representative product of high-shun butadiene rubber. There are many related companies in my country, and the production capacity and output are growing. Rare earth-based high-shun butadiene rubber is an emerging product of butadiene rubber. Compared with cobalt-based and nickel-based high-shun butadiene rubber, it has the advantages of flex resistance, high strength, and low rolling resistance. It can be used to produce high-performance tires and is in demand downstream in the future. Driven by this, its market share will continue to increase.

According to the “2023-2028 China Gaoshun Butadiene Rubber Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, High-shun butadiene rubber is the mainstream product in my country’s butadiene rubber market. It is mainly used in the fields of cold-resistant products and wear-resistant products, including shoe materials, tires, hoses, tapes, etc. The tire field is the largest demand side for high-shun butadiene rubber, accounting for nearly 70% of the demand. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s rubber tire casing production will reach 860 million units in 2022. It is expected that in the future, as the development of the high-performance tire industry accelerates, the market demand for high-shun butadiene rubber will further grow.

There are many high-shun butadiene rubber manufacturers in my country, and their production capacity is mainly concentrated in East China and North China. Nanjing Yangzi Petrochemical Rubber Co., Ltd., Shandong Weite (Wanda) Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd., Sinopec Qilu Petrochemical Company, Shandong Huamao New Materials Co., Ltd., Zibo Qixiang Tengda Chemical Co., Ltd., etc. are my country’s high-shun shunting Among the major players in the rubber market, Zhejiang Petrochemical’s 100,000-ton high-shun butadiene rubber unit with an annual output has been officially put into operation in January 2023.

Industry analysts said that benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials, my country’s high-shun butadiene rubber production has continued to increase, and the industry has accelerated its development. High-shun butadiene rubber is mainly used in the tire field and has strong market demand. There are many players in my country’s high-shun butadiene rubber market and the competition is fierce. It is expected that companies with large-scale production capabilities of rare earth-based high-shun butadiene rubber will occupy more shares of the Chinese market in the future.
