Natural Rubber Products, Materials & Applications
Natural rubber was originally derived from latex found in the sap of rubber trees. The purified form of natural rubber can also be produced synthetically. Natural rubber is an ideal polymer for dynamic or static engineering applications.
Caution: Natural rubber is not recommended for applications where the rubber part will be exposed to ozone, oils, or solvents.
