Other Rubber is a material that is widely used in various industries due to its elasticity and flexibility. Although natural rubber is extracted from tree sap, today various types of synthetic rubber are also produced, each with its own unique properties and applications.

Types of Synthetic Rubber

Synthetic rubbers are generally divided into two categories:

General rubbers: These types of rubbers are produced on a large scale and have a wide range of applications. These rubbers include SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber).
Specialty rubbers: These types of rubbers are designed for specific applications and have very special properties. These rubbers include silicone, fluorocarbon, and butyl rubber.

Rubber Compounding Process

To produce rubber products, base rubber is combined with various additives such as fillers, plasticizers, curing agents, and pigments to produce a rubber compound. This compound is then subjected to pressure and heat to form the final product.
