Rubber and Plastic Raw Materials

​

Overview of Materials

• Rubber: A versatile elastomer derived from natural and synthetic sources, primarily utilized for its elasticity and durability.

  • Natural Rubber: Sourced from the latex of rubber trees, known for high elasticity and tensile strength.

  • Synthetic Rubber: Includes various types such as SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), and NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber); tailored for specific applications.

• Plastic: A broad category of synthetic materials that can be molded into various shapes. Key types include:

  • Polyethylene (PE): Known for flexibility and chemical resistance; commonly used in packaging.

  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Durable and versatile; used in construction and plumbing.

  • Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight with a high melting point; utilized in automotive and consumer goods.
