Among product type, cold E-SBR segment accounted for the largest market share, in terms of revenue in the global emulsion styrene butadiene market. Cold E-SBRs can be manufactured at about 5°C by free-radical emulsion polymerization of styrene and butadiene. Various advantages offered by Cold E-SBR is expected to drive demand for E-SBR over the forecast period. For instance, cold E-SBR have better resistance to abrasion, and also provides better tread wear, as compared to hot E-SBR. Apart from these properties, cold E-SBR exhibits superior mechanical properties such as tensile strength compared to grades manufactured by hot emulsion polymerization.
