we grow and supply natural rubber at a steady state for as long the customer will nee. any quantity for a period of 1 month

The major commercial source of natural rubber latex is the ( Hevea brasiliensis) , a member of the spurge family, . This is largely because it responds to wounding by producing more latex.

Other plants containing latex include ( Palaquium gutta) , rubber fig ( ) , Panama rubber tree ( ) , spurges ( spp.) , , common dandelion ( ) , Russian dandelion ( kok-saghyz) , ( tau-saghyz) , and ( Parthenium argentatum) . Although these have not been major sources of rubber, attempted to use some of these during when it was cut off from rubber supplies[ ] . These attempts were later supplanted by the development of . To distinguish the tree-obtained version of natural rubber from the synthetic version, the term gum rubber is sometimes used.

The use of rubber is widespread, ranging from household to industrial products, entering the production stream at the intermediate stage or as final products. Tires and tubes are the largest consumers of rubber. The remaining 44% are taken up by the general rubber goods ( GRG) sector, which includes all products except tires and tubes.

Pre-historical uses

The first use of rubber was by the Olmecs, centuries later passed on the knowledge of natural latex from the Hevea Tree in 1600 BC to the Ancient .[ ] They boiled the harvested latex to make a ball for sport.

Manufacturing

Other significant uses of rubber are door and window profiles, hoses, belts, matting, flooring and dampeners ( anti-vibration mounts) for the industry in what is known as the " under the bonnet" products. ( medical, household and industrial) and are also large consumers of rubber, although the type of rubber used is that of the concentrated latex. Significant tonnage of rubber is used as in many industries and products, although the two most noticeable are the and the industry. Rubber is also commonly used to make and pencil .

Textile applications

Additionally, rubber produced as a fiber sometimes called elastic, has significant value for use in the textile industry because of its excellent elongation and recovery properties. For these purposes, manufactured rubber fiber is made as either an extruded round fiber or rectangular fibers that are cut into strips from extruded film. Because of its low dye acceptance, feel and appearance, the rubber fiber is either covered by yarn of another fiber or directly woven with other yarns into the fabric. In the early 1900s, for example, rubber yarns were used in foundation garments. While rubber is still used in textile manufacturing, its low tenacity limits its use in lightweight garments because latex lacks resistance to oxidizing agents and is damaged by aging, sunlight, oil, and perspiration. Seeking a way to address these shortcomings, the textile industry has turned to ( polymer form of ) , a type of synthetic rubber as well as another more commonly used elastomer fiber, ( also known as elastane) , because of their superiority to rubber in both strength and durability.
