Polymerisation reactor used for the production of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is made of__________________?

Correct answer: D. Stainless steel or glass lined vessel

  • A. Cast iron
  • B. Wrought iron
  • C. Karbate
  • D. Stainless steel or glass lined vessel

Explanation

SBR polymerisation reactors commonly use stainless steel or glass-lined construction because these materials resist corrosion and contamination from the reaction mixture. Ordinary cast iron and wrought iron are less suitable for this service.
