Nitrile rubber continued on a downward track, followed by EPDM rubber which saw a slight drop in pricing compared to the week before. 

Halobutyl and polybutadiene rubbers, as well as fluoroelastomers remained flat, while styrene butadiene rubber prices continued to make modest gains, data collected by ChemAnalyst also shows.
