About the Natural Rubber Market
Natural rubber is an elastomer derived from latex. Latex is sticky, milk-colored latex sap obtained from the bark of the tree, which is refined into a usable rubber. Chemical polyisoprene is the purified form of natural rubber. Natural rubber has the highest resilience among all types of rubbers and has good tear strength and fatigue strength. The category spend momentum is accredited to the extensive use of natural rubber as one of the key constituents in producing a range of products such as flooring, clothing, machinery to mitigate vibration, lining, and production of nozzles, adhesives and coatings, condoms, and ducts.
