Rubbers & Elastomers Analysis Service
Rubber is a polymer with the property of elasticity. There are two categories of rubber, natural rubber currently obtained from the rubber trees and synthetic rubber derived from petrochemicals. Because of the unsaturated double bond, natural rubber has strong ability of chemical reaction and is not resistant to aging. Synthetic rubber is much more prominent than natural rubber in many applications due to its superior performance. Vulcanized rubber is a more useful elastomer that has been made more durable by a biochemical process to add sulfur to enhance the strength and durability.
