Natural Rubber

Natural rubber, also called india rubber, as initially produced, consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds plus water. Malaysia is a leading producer of rubber. Forms of poly isoprene that are used as natural rubbers are classified as elastomers. Natural rubber is used for the production of rubber products. Currently, rubber is harvested mainly in the form of the latex from certain trees. The latex is a sticky, milky colloid drawn off by making incisions into the bark and collecting the fluid in vessels in a process called "tapping". The latex then is refined into rubber ready for commercial processing. Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products, either alone or in combination with other materials. Natural rubber is used in production of passange tyre, radial tyre, tube conveyer belt, moulded component, chappal, tread rubber, v belt, footwear, tyre prevulcanized trade, extruded profile, gloves, condoms, adhesive, boots, fan belt, timing belt, pencil erasers, rubber band, mats, sheets, gasket, seals, hose, tubing, rubber moulding, extrusion.
