The sap from the rubber tree is commonly referred to as "latex". Technically a latex is any polymer dissolved in water. The rubber tree sap happens to contain the polymer isoprene, which has a wide variety of applications. When the isoprene is extracted from the latex it has a remarkable number of useful applications, depending on how it is processed. The most famous way to process isoprene is to "cross-link" or "vulcanize" it, which then makes a material strong enough to make tires.
