Natural rubber (NR) is a natural material extracted from rubber trees. It was the first rubber to be used industrially and is extremely durable, flexible, and resilient, making it suitable for highly mechanically demanding products that are subject to heavy loads, wear, and compression.
Environmentally friendly materialFor heavy industries
Material blends known worldwide that contain natural rubber, such as para rubber and latex, have high natural rubber content. Natural rubber is widely used in heavy industries, such as mining and drilling equipment, due to its high wear resistance and elasticity. The rubber is often used in spring-like applications, gaskets, drill bits, seals, splash guards, and as vibration and shock absorbers.
The material is available in a variety of colors, such as beige, gray, red, and black. The different colors are due to the rubber compounds, and they may indicate differences in the material’s hardness, elasticity, and the percentage of natural rubber in the compound. Natural rubber is commonly used as a mudguard for mining and excavation machinery. The material is very environmentally friendly since it is naturally extracted from the rubber tree.
