Japanese Raw Rubber Suppliers and Manufacturers

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. Natural Rubber Supply Chain Process: 1. Cultivation and Harvesting: 2. Processing and Production: 3. Domestic and International Trade: 4. Product Manufacturing: 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.
