SBR is used in tyre production, which accounts for 76% of global consumption. Other uses include mechanical goods which account for 15%, automotive for 5% and others such as adhesives, floor tiles and shoe soles for 4%. Adhesives and chewing gum have been identified as two growing markets for SBR applications.
