Introduction
- Natural
rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer that naturally occurs
as a milky colloidal suspension, or latex, in the sap of
some plants.
- Rubber
exhibits unique physical and chemical properties.
- A rubber/elastomer
is a polymeric material with long flexible molecular chains an
the ability to deform elastically when vulcanised.
Manufacturing Process
-
Synthetic rubbers are made by the polymerization of a single
monomer or a mixture of monomers to produce polymers.
- Rubber
latex is extracted from Rubber trees.
-
Natural rubber is a solid product obtained through
coagulating the latex produced by certain plants,
particularly the Brazilian rubber-tree .
Use
-
The use of rubber is widespread, ranging from household
to industrial products, entering the production stream
at the intermediate stage or as final products.
-
The flexibility of rubber is often used in hose, tires,
and rollers for a wide variety of devices ranging from
domestic clothes wringers to printing presses
-
Its elasticity makes it suitable for various kinds of
shock absorbers and for specialized machinery mountings
designed to reduce vibration.
-
The coefficient of friction of rubber, which is high on
dry surfaces and low on wet surfaces, leads to the use
of rubber both for power-transmission belting and for
water-lubricated bearings in deep-well pumps.
Market
-
Tires
and tubes are the largest consumers of rubber,
accounting for around 56% total consumption in 2005.
-
Demand for natural rubber, which has increased
steadily over the past 10 years, is expected to grow
at a similar rate in the next decade.
-
The
requirement for non-tyre rubber is likely to grow
faster than for the tyre sector as a result of solid
demand in many industrial rubber products.
-
India's rubber consumption is expected to continue
growing in the next few year, driven by the auto
sector
-
Demand for rubber from India will continue to
increase quite rapidly, probably next to China in
terms of the rate of growth
