1) Buna-S (styrene butadiene rubber) - It is obtained by the polymerization of Buta-1, 3 -diene and styrene in the ratio of 3:1 in the presence of sodium. It is used for making automobile tyres and footwear.
2) Buna-N (Nitrile rubber)- It is obtained by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile in the presence of a peroxide catalyst. It is used for making oil seals, manufacture of hoses and tank linings.
3) Dacron – It is obtained by the polymerization of ethylene glycol and terphthalic acid.
4) Neoprene –It is prepared by the free radical polymerization of chloroprene. It is used as insulator, for making belts, gaskets, hoses etc.
