December 2, 2013 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 91, Issue 48

Japan’s JSR and MOL Hungarian Oil & Gas will set up a joint venture to produce solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber (S-SBR) in Hungary. Using technology from JSR and feedstock from MOL, the venture will open in 2017 with an initial capacity of 60,000 metric tons per year, JSR says. A relatively new type of rubber, S-SBR enables energy-efficient tires that grip the road but don’t stick to it. JSR has a similar joint venture in Thailand.
