Sun advertised it as such even if it were not perfectly so.  When
StringBuilder was announced in JDK 1.5 Sun had this to say about
StringBuilder

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/StringBuilder.html
A mutable sequence of characters. This class provides an API
compatible with StringBuffer, but with no guarantee of
synchronization. This class is designed for use as a drop-in
replacement for StringBuffer in places where the string buffer was
being used by a single thread (as is generally the case). Where
possible, it is recommended that this class be used in preference to
StringBuffer as it will be faster under most implementations. 
... 
Instances of StringBuilder are not safe for use by multiple threads.
If such synchronization is required then it is recommended that
StringBuffer be used.
