Natural Rubber is an ideal polymer for dynamic or static engineering applications. It has excellent dynamic properties, with a low hysteresis loss, and good low temperature properties. It can be bonded well to metal parts, has high resistance to tear and abrasion and is relatively easy to process. It also has excellent low temperature properties. Natural rubber is inferior to many of the synthetics for heat aging, resistance to sunlight, oxygen, ozone, solvents or oils. Suitable applications include:
