Houston, Texas -- The International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers Inc. has announced the creation of new grades for oil-extended SBRs.

“Our Technical Committees in Europe, Asia and The Americas have been working to develop this numbering system for several months”, said James L. McGraw, IISRP managing director and CEO “Several non-labeled oils have come to the market since we first started working on specifications in Europe a few years ago.”

The new grades will be published in the next edition of the Institute's Synthetic Rubber Manual. A summary of the grades can be found on the IISRP website (below).
