Untreated rubber is commonly referred to as "natural rubber" or "latex." This form of rubber is derived from the sap of rubber trees and is a soft and pliable material. It lacks the resistance to heat and wear that is achieved through the vulcanization process, making it less durable for many applications.

What does the mixture of rubber and sulphur form when they are heated?
When rubber and sulfur are heated together, they undergo a process called vulcanization. This process involves the formation of cross-links between the polymer chains in rubber, resulting in a stronger, more elastic material known as vulcanized rubber. This enhanced rubber has improved durability, heat resistance, and elasticity compared to untreated rubber.
What is the most common colour for a rubber band?
A light brown, almost a tan color, which is the untreated color of the rubber polymer used to make rubber bands.
How is vulcanized rubber different to rubber?
Vulcanized rubber is rubber that has undergone a chemical process called vulcanization, which involves adding sulfur and heating the material. This process enhances the rubber's elasticity, strength, and durability, making it more resistant to temperature changes, aging, and wear. In contrast, untreated rubber is softer, more prone to degradation, and less stable under varying environmental conditions. Overall, vulcanization significantly improves the performance and longevity of rubber products.
