Product Description
Synthetic rubber is an elastomer that is produced by synthesizing it from petroleum and other minerals in manufacturing units in a man-made way. It is produced from extra polymers that is made from polyene monomers and is widely used as a replacement for natural rubber in diverse sectors requiring enhanced material. It is also resistant to solvents, oxygen, oils, and specific chemicals than natural rubber. It can handle a broader spectrum of temperatures like sunlight and snow and maintain its improved flexibility.
It is also less dependent on natural resources and can be easily produced in huge quantities, which makes it a more reliable option for sectors that require consistent supply. In addition, it is cost-effective to create and provides enhanced longevity in comparison to natural rubber.
