Major Types of Natural Rubber

1. Hevea Rubber (Hevea Brasiliensis)
- The primary raw material for natural rubber comes from the Hevea tree (Hevea Brasiliensis), mainly cultivated in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand.

2. Sumatra Rubber
- Rubber is also produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, serving as another globally significant production region.

Applications of Natural Rubber

1. Automobile Tires:
- Natural rubber is a key raw material for the manufacturing of automobile tires due to its excellent wear resistance and elasticity.

2. Shoe Soles:
- Widely used in the production of shoe soles, providing cushioning and durability during walking.

3. Industrial Products:
- Utilized in a variety of industrial products, serving as vibration control materials and sealing materials.

4. Medical Devices:
- Used in the production of medical gloves and some medical devices due to its flexibility and biocompatibility.

Applications of RSS (Rubber Smoked Sheet) and TSR (Technically Specified Rubber):

1. RSS (Rubber Smoked Sheet):
- Automobile Tire Manufacturing:
- RSS is extensively used in the production of high-end automobile tires due to its excellent physical properties and quality, making it a reliable material for tires that require high wear resistance and durability.
- High-Quality Products:
- Additionally, RSS is employed in the manufacturing of other high-quality rubber products, including industrial goods, luxury consumer goods, and some medical devices.

2. TSR (Technically Specified Rubber):
- Automobile Parts Manufacturing:
- TSR products are widely used in the manufacturing of automobile parts. In components requiring vibration control, such as engine mounts and bushings, TSR is selected for its specific properties.
- Industrial Applications:
- Used in the manufacturing of industrial products, TSR is an ideal material for products where the flexibility and elasticity of rubber are essential.
- Medical Devices:
- TSR is also used in some medical devices, playing a crucial role in the production of medical products due to its biocompatibility.
