Rubber in tyres is a mixture of many things; latex, chalk, carbon, rosin, sulphur or some other vulcanization, etc. Such a mixture is quite unlikely to have a single melting point. A softening point may be a better term. This point is easily within the reach of super-heated steam, which is the main process heat. From memory (and that's not too good) it was in the vicinity of 300oF. It is heated with a vulcanizing agent to create cross links of polymerization.

Latex has a lower melting point.

What is the melting point of a rubber balloon?

The melting point of a rubber balloon depends on the specific type of rubber it is made from. Generally, the melting point of rubber is around 180-220°C (356-428°F). Heating a rubber balloon beyond its melting point will cause it to melt and lose its shape.

How far can a rubber band stretch before it reaches its breaking point?

A rubber band can stretch up to about 4-6 times its original length before it breaks.


If you shoot a rubber band how far will it go?

It depends on the rubber band if is a small rubber band then it will go about 20'and if it is an bigger rubber band then it will go about 35' but it depends on the rubber band and the way you shoot the rubber band


When does rubber melt?

It doesn't. Tire rubber (and rubber in general) has vulcanized properties that keep it from melting. The only way you can accuire melted rubber is to have it ordered form somewhere that sells it.


How do you make rubber band trolley?

To make a rubber band trolley, you'll need a small lightweight platform (like a piece of cardboard), two wheels (you can use bottle caps), and a rubber band. Attach the wheels to the sides of the platform, ensuring they can spin freely. Then, secure one end of the rubber band to the platform and the other end to a fixed point or a hook on the rear, allowing it to stretch. When you release the tension in the rubber band, it will propel the trolley forward.

A rubber-band is made out of rubber because rubber will make it hold things nice and tight.


What type of compound will have a high melting point and conduct electricity?

Ionic compounds will have a high melting point and conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water due to their ability to form charged ions that can carry electric current.
