It is made at the Ravenna production facility in Italy.
It is a medium bound styrene copolymer extended with naphthenic oil.
A non-staining antioxidant is added during the production process.

Key Features
E-SBR is a general purpose rubber characterised by good processability, mechanical properties and abrasion resistance.
It has a limited resistance to oil and weather but properly compounded, it is suitable for use in outdoor applications.
Europrene ® 1778 combines excellent processability and easier incorporation of high filler loading with the light color properties of naphtenic oil.

Main Applications
