natural rubber

Natural rubber is a flexible, elastic material derived from the latex sap of rubber trees, primarily the Hevea brasiliensis. It consists mainly of polymers like polyisoprene, which give it remarkable stretchability and resilience. When processed, it becomes a versatile substance used in products such as tires, footwear, and medical devices. Natural rubber's elasticity, strength, and resistance to wear make it valuable across many industries. It is biodegradable and renewable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic rubber, though it can be sensitive to environmental factors like heat and ozone.
