Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that is famously the material of choice for wetsuits. What you may not know is that the numerous favourable properties of neoprene – such as excellent tear strength, thermal stability and resistance to oils, solvents, ozone, UV and oxidation – make this versatile material a useful choice for a wide […]

Polymers are a class of natural and synthetic substances made up of extremely large molecules, known as macromolecules, which are multiples of simpler molecules called monomers. Polymers make up many natural substances, such as proteins and cellulose. Not to mention many man-made materials, like paper, plastics and rubbers. In this article, we’ll explain why polymers […]

The sheer number of uses of polymers in industry is as vast as they are diverse. Their versatility and range of favourable characteristics make them a firm (or should that be flexible?!) favourite amongst manufacturers of all shapes and sizes. So just what are the uses of polymer that we see today? TRP Polymer Solutions […]

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is probably the most widely used rubber you’ve never heard of before. In fact, everything from the trainers you wear to the tyres you drive on will contain this synthetic rubber. In this article, TRP Polymer Solutions talks you through some of the most common styrene uses, as well as the advantages […]
