I. Advantages of Natural Rubber:
1. High elasticity: high rebound rate, low hysteresis loss, and low heat generation.
2. High Strength: The tensile strength of pure rubber vulcanizates can reach 17–25 MPa, and after reinforcement with carbon black, it can increase to 25–35 MPa. It also exhibits excellent resistance to fatigue and flexural durability.
3. Excellent processing performance: After plasticizing, it exhibits high plasticity, making it easy to mix, calender, and extrude.
4. Good adhesion: Easily bonds with other materials.
5. Renewable and biodegradable (under specific conditions).
II. Disadvantages of Natural Rubber:
1. Poor weather resistance: It has poor resistance to heat, oxygen, and ozone, so an antioxidant must be added.
2. Poor oil and solvent resistance.
3. Temperature sensitivity: Softens and becomes sticky at high temperatures, while becoming hard and brittle at low temperatures.
III. Major Production Areas:
Global natural rubber production is highly concentrated in Southeast Asia, accounting for more than 90% of the world’s total output.
Thailand: The world’s largest producer and exporter of natural rubber.
Indonesia: The world’s second-largest producer.
Vietnam: The world’s third-largest producer, with rapid growth.
Malaysia: Once the world’s largest producer, it has now transformed into a major hub for rubber product processing and trade.
Other producing regions: India, China (primarily in Hainan, Yunnan, and Guangdong), Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and others.
