Market Overview

Quarterly Update on Global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Market

For the Quarter Ending September 2020

Asia

Price of NBR surged across the region because of the soaring feedstock Butadiene and also due to improved demand from the agricultural sector. By the end of September, prices were on a continuous uptrend and were assessed around USD 2200 per MT CFR India. With the initiation of antidumping investigation on NBR import from China, EU, Japan and Russia, Indian NBR producers turned optimistic over curtailed cheap imports. Higher feedstock prices and stable market demand lead to higher price realizations even in China although demand from the automotive sector stood in the doldrums.

Europe

The third quarter Nitrile Butadiene Rubber prices remained high due to tight supply with better buying appetite from domestic as well as Asian buyers. Further increase was seen in the contract prices because of the increased upstream values. Maintenance shutdowns, unplanned issues kept the NBR supply snug throughout the quarter. Revived demand from Asia was starting to again support trader sentiments. Closure of Lanxess AG’s NBR unit in Q2, supported the high pricing of the product during the third quarter.

About

Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, commonly called as Nitrile Rubber is an oil resistant synthetic rubber fabricated from the copolymerization of Acrylonitrile (ACN) and Butadiene. The percentage of Acrylonitrile present in NBR varies from 15 to 50 per cent. Increasing content of Acrylonitrile leads to higher strength, greater oil resistance, and lower permeability to gases. The various trade names of NBR are Perbunan, Nipol, Krynac and Europrene. This rubber is mostly used where high resistance to oil, fuel and other chemicals is required. It is used in textile industries to improve the finish and waterproofing properties of woven and non-woven fabrics. It is used in the automotive and aeronautical industry to manufacture fuel and oil handling hoses, seals, grommets, and self-sealing fuel tanks. It is more resistance to oil and acids than other rubbers.
