Synthetic rubber grow fast in industrial application
                      

Rubber has become an indispensable part of the modern world. Wherever machines or engines have to be provided with bearings, forces transferred, liquids transported, rotating,shafts or containers sealed, there's no getting around this material. However, today's high-performance elastomers have little in common with the materials obtained from natural rubber.

 

In 2007, some 13.6 million metric tons of synthetic rubber were used in the world, compared to around only 9.7 million metric tons of natural rubber. Experts expect that the share of synthetic rubbers will continue to grow faster than natural rubber as a result of its properties. Synthetic rubber is used today as the basis for a wide range of high-performance rubber products and it will continue to be used to unlock the potential of new opportunities and applications in the future.
