Product Summary: Rubber is a polymeric, elastomeric material consisting of large organic molecules. Its elastomeric property means that an object made of this material comes close back to its original dimensions after a deformation caused by weak tension, and after having been freed of this tension Synthetic rubber comprises about 60 % of the total volumes. Approximately 44 % of synthetic rubber and 77 % of natural rubber are consumed by the tyre industry. Of synthetic rubber types SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) is the most used one. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene) has, however, a faster growth rate. The fastest growing demand is experienced by thermoplastic elastomers. These are materials with properties between traditional rubbers and thermoplastic plastics. |
