Natural rubber
What is Natural Rubber?
Some applications have the highest demands on their individual components. Natural rubber is a versatile material that has been used in engineering for many years for a simple reason-it can be ground, but it can still perform key functions.
Natural rubber combines high tensile and tear strength with excellent fatigue resistance. These heavy-duty capacities make this material an ideal polymer for dynamic or static engineering applications dealing with conventional vibration, noise, contact and other problems. These properties make natural rubber an ideal solution for tires, printing press cylinders, agitators and other parts that often contact abrasive surfaces or other damaged elements.
