Rubber is the multipurpose industrial product used to make home based products such as floorings, rubber bands, mats, etc. And some of the industrial rubber usage to be mentioned are, rubber made anti vibration mounts which acts as shock absorber which results in reduction of noise levels in automotive such as cars, bikes, aeroplanes, etc.
Rubber is distinguished into two types. One is Natural Rubber and other is Synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is mainly used to manufacture tyres in automobile industries. Synthetic rubber is extracted from petroleum. Rubber industry has attained tremendous growth in export and import worldwide. Rubber crop cultivation gives good yield too. After the cultivation of rubber trees, natural rubber (latex) is collected and thickened into blocks. These rubber blocks are inserted into huge machineries and made into different rubber products like sheets, pads, etc. This process can be technically defined in the following value chain.
Synthetic rubber is a kind of artificial elastomer. Some of the synthetic rubber are styrene-butadiene rubbers (SBR) derived from the copolymerization of styrene and 1, 3-butadiene. Some of the rubber products made out of synthetic rubber are, auto tires, tubes, belts, hoses, footwear, medical equipment, moulded parts. Synthetic rubber can withstand up to 30°C. If this temperature exceeds, rubber may start to flow and ruptures the packages. Normally synthetic rubber contains water approximately 0.2 - 0.4%. And synthetic rubber is highly sensitive to humidity or moisture.
Rubber production is increasing worldwide and some of the top countries popular in rubber production are Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and China. And famous exporters of rubber are Germany, US, China. Top rubber importers are China, US, Germany, Italy and France. So industrial rubber products are widely used in automotive industries and this industry has bloomed and attained a great growth in India too.
