2. Natural rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_rubber

   Natural rubber latex is shipped from factories in Southeast Asia, South America, and West and Central Africa to destinations around the world. As the cost of natural rubber has risen significantly and rubber products are dense, the shipping methods offering the lowest cost per unit weight are preferred.

3. Crepe rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepe_rubber

   Pale latex crepe (PLC) is a premium grade, made from raw field latex. Estate brown crepe (EBC) is made from "cup lump" (raw, naturally coagulated rubber from the collection cup) and other coagula. Re-milled crepe is made from "wet slab coagulum" (cured latex, still wet from the coagulation tanks), latex sheets (unsmoked) and cup lump.

   Palaquium gutta. Gutta-percha is a tree of the genus Palaquium in the family Sapotaceae.The name also refers to the rigid, naturally biologically inert, resilient, electrically nonconductive, thermoplastic latex derived from the tree, particularly from Palaquium gutta; it is a polymer of isoprene which forms a rubber-like elastomer.

5. Talalay process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talalay_process

   However, different methods of producing Talalay alter how natural the end product is. One compound, called styrene-butadiene rubber, is a form of synthetic latex that, when used by Talalay Global, is mixed with the latex from the Hevea tree to form the final Talalay product. Vita Talalay in the Netherlands still produces a Talalay product that ...

6. Synthetic rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_rubber

   Natural rubber, coming from latex of Hevea brasiliensis, is mainly poly-cis-isoprene. Synthetic rubber, like other polymers, is made from various petroleum-based monomers. Some synthetic rubbers are less sensitive to ozone cracking than natural rubber. Natural rubber is sensitive owing to the double bonds in its chain structure, but some ...

7. Foam rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_rubber

   Foam rubber (also known as cellular rubber, sponge rubber, or expanded rubber) is rubber that has been made with a foaming agent so that its structure is an air-filled matrix. Commercial foam rubber is generally made of synthetic rubber, natural latex, or polyurethane. Latex foam rubber, used in mattresses, is well known for its endurance.
