Rubber technology

Rubber technology involves the development and processing of rubber materials, which are highly elastic and resilient. Originating from natural sources like rubber trees, synthetic rubber is also produced through chemical processes. This technology focuses on enhancing the properties of rubber for various applications, including tires, seals, and footwear. Key processes include mixing raw materials, shaping rubber products, and curing (or vulcanizing) them to improve durability and performance. Understanding rubber technology helps in creating safer, more efficient products that meet industrial and consumer needs, making it vital in industries like automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare.
