Rubber Category

Rubber is a versatile elastomer derived primarily from latex sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) and synthetic polymers. Its unique combination of elasticity, durability, and resistance to water and abrasion makes it essential in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare. Natural rubber production centers include countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which collectively account for a significant portion of global supply. Advances in rubber compounding and vulcanization techniques continue to enhance performance characteristics for specialized applications.
