latex
Sulphur is used as vulcanising agent in the production of rubber. It cross links the polyisoprene found in the latex from the rubber tree. the process is to mix the latex with sulfur and other additives e.g. carbon black, and then heat. The characteristics of the rubber produced depend on what and how much is added to the latex and how long it is heated for.
Cotton Plastic and latex rubber.
No, they are made of rubber. yes but a speciel type of latex/durable plastic very soft and very hard same time no
The South American Indians used Natural Latex that was found in many plants, they used this latex to make shoes they turned it into rubber.
Generally no. Tree sap is a resin (e.g. maple syrup is extracted from maple tree sap and we use this as food, natural rubber latex comes from the rubber tree sap and is used to make latex gloves and other items). Plastics and epoxy glues are resins and we use them for nearly everything. Some types of resin are used to separate contaminants from liquids and these might become hazardous during that process, depending on the contaminants.
Renewable is not necessarily biodegradable. For instance, latex used in making rubber is a renewable resource that comes from a tree, but the rubber made from it is not considered biodegradable.
uses of a rubber tree 1.Prehistoric uses 2.Manufacturing 3.Textile Applications
There are so many advantages of rubber. Some of them include manufacture of footwear, it is used to make latex, rubber can be used as an insulator and so much more.
