Polybutadiene rubber is a synthetic polymer derived from the polymerization of butadiene monomers. It consists of a polymer chain with repeating units of butadiene, which contain four carbon atoms and two double bonds. The polymerization process can result in different configurations of double bonds, such as cis or trans, impacting the properties of the resulting PBR. The safety considerations for Polybutadiene rubber depend on various factors, including the specific grade, formulation, additives, and processing conditions. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidance and safety precautions provided in the SDS for the specific PBR product you are using or handling. Some general safety considerations for handling rubber materials, including PBR, may include:

Polybutadiene rubber is a solid, light yellow synthetic rubber. This composition is odorless. The melting point of this material is above 150 ° C. The compound catches fire at 332 ° C. The density of polybutadiene at 20 ° C is equal to 0.9 g / cm3. This polymer compound is insoluble in water but soluble in other organic solvents such as hexane, toluene, benzene, chloroform and tetrachloride. Polybutadiene rubber is stable under normal conditions, but it melts at very high temperatures. Polybutadiene polymeric storage packages should not be exposed to oxidizing agents. The compounds associated with this substance are butadiene and carbon dioxide, both of which are dangerous to health.

Polybutadiene rubber does not pose a risk to the environment, but if it comes in direct contact with the eyes and skin, the polymer particles can cause severe irritation along with redness and pain in the area of contact. People who come in contact with this substance should use special work clothes. When polybutadiene rubber is decomposed by heat, it is released into the atmosphere in the form of oxygen-carbon and carbon dioxide, which reduces the amount of Oxygen in space and will have very severe toxic effects on the body's cells, resulting in difficulty breathing. For this reason, contact with incendiary sources should be strictly avoided.

Packages containing polybutadiene rubber are sold in bulk or packages of 1000 kg. These packages should be stored in dry and cool storeroom away from heat sources and other chemicals. Shipping standards must be observed when transporting packages containing this material. Residues of this polymer arrangement should not be discharged into water and wastewater collections under any circumstances. Packages of this material should be placed on wooden pallets. Materials should be stored in packages made of polyethylene. The storage temperature of these materials should not exceed 30 ° C. The standard for storing polybutadiene rubber in storeroom is at least one year.

Direct and prolonged contact with rubber materials, including PBR, may cause skin irritation or sensitization. It is advisable to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection when handling PBR. Inhalation of rubber dust or fumes generated during processing or machining of rubber materials, including PBR, should be minimized. Adequate ventilation or respiratory protection should be used in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. Rubber materials, including PBR, are generally combustible. Precautions should be taken to prevent the ignition of rubber dust or rubber products and to ensure the availability of appropriate fire control measures. Proper disposal practices should be followed in accordance with local regulations and guidelines for the disposal of rubber waste or products containing PBR.
