Synthetic and Natural Rubber

Abstract rubbers of synthetic rubber and natural rubber are important resources for a wide range of applications. It is naturally available from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). It can also be synthesized from petroleum and gas. Both natural rubber and synthetic rubber have their own advantages and disadvantages. Natural rubber consists of a linear polymer, cis-1,4-polyisoprene. Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is the most common synthetic rubber. It is a random copolymer of styrene and butadiene, once strengthened by vulcanization, it has good physical properties.

The most important raw material of the eraser is rubber. Rubber can be natural or synthetic. Natural rubber is obtained from latex manufactured by Hevea brasilienesis. Synthetic rubber has various forms. The most common synthetic rubber comes from chemical styrene and butadiene. Styrene is a liquid derived from ethylbenzene. Ethylbenzene is usually made from ethylene and benzene, both of which are made from petroleum. Butadiene is gas coming directly from petroleum or from butane from butane and butane.

There are various kinds of rubber such as synthetic rubber, silicone rubber, ethylene-propylene, natural rubber, butyl natural rubber, elastomer, liquid silicone rubber, etc. Industrial rubber materials are mechanical rubber products, elevators and conveyor belts, rubber hoses, vibration damping products, molded rubber products, transmission belts, Weatherstripping products, rubber products, films and films. Mechanical rubber products such as vibration damping devices, wiper blades and body seals are the largest products in the world market. Rubber materials such as hats, containers and seals are commonly used in the pharmaceutical and medical fields to protect products from environmental contaminants or from any contamination. Rubber products with high heat resistance, moisture resistance and ozone gas like condenser packaging have great value in the industry

In many applications, natural rubber can be exchanged for synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is not completely replaced, but a mixture of natural rubber and synthetic rubber can be used. Therefore, mass production of inexpensive synthetic rubber forms substitutes and competes in the same market, which may affect the price of natural rubber. However, since synthetic rubber depends on oil prices, the rise in oil prices leads to price increases in synthetic rubber, which makes consumers disadvantageous.
