Natural Rubber（NR）

Natural rubber is made from latex, which is mostly extracted from the sap of the plant, Hevea brasiliensis. It has good wear resistance, high elasticity, high resilience, tensile strength, has good dynamic performance and low level of damping. However, it ages with time and has poor chemical, oil, and ozone resistance.

Properties

Excellent compression set

Excellent cold/hot resilience rating

Excellent abrasion resistance

Very good rear resistance

Excellent impact resistance

Good dynamic and mechanical properties

Good fatigue properties

Good low temperature flexibility

Application

Rain boots, warm water bags, elastic bands for daily use；

Surgeons gloves, blood vessels, condoms used in the healthcare industry；

Various tires used in transportation；

Industrially used conveyor belts, conveyor belts, acid and alkali resistant gloves；

Drainage and irrigation hoses and ammonia bags used in agriculture；

Sounding balloon for meteorological survey；
