Rubber production has been linked to deforestation. Rubber therefore is one of seven commodities included in the 2023 EU Regulation on Deforestation-free products (EUDR), which aims to guarantee that the products European Union (EU) citizens consume do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation worldwide.

The two roll rubber mill is used in almost every rubber production facility today. Many other inventors created rubber mills with varying degrees of similarity to Chaffee's initial designs. [ 3 ] George Watkinson patented a three roll design in 1894 while Harold Denmire patented a four roll design in 1932.
The first production catalogue comprised insulating tapes, rubber and asbestos-rubber boards, coated fabrics, ebonite, molded articles, inner tubes and bicycle tires. The natural rubber used in the manufacturing process was imported in majority from Dutch East Indies, Africa and South America. [3] In 1928, a rubber hose production department ...
Styrene-butadiene co-polymer (SBR) is a synthetic rubber that is often substituted in part for natural rubber based on the comparative raw materials cost; Polybutadiene is used in combination with other rubbers because of its low heat-buildup properties; Halobutyl rubber is used for the tubeless inner liner compounds, because of its low air ...
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 ...
It was, with the Société Anversoise and the Abir Congo Company, one of the main producers of rubber in the Free State. [2] The company's rubber production declined in the early 20th century as a result of over harvesting of the natural rubber vine (Landolphia owariensis gentili) and the entire concession produced just seven tons of rubber in ...
In order to make Germany independent from the importation of natural rubber, the first industrial plant for the production of artificial rubber was built in Schkopau near Halle (Saale) and named Buna-Werke GmbH Schkopau. It was a subsidiary of Ammoniakwerk Merseburg GmbH, later known as Leunawerke, which belonged to IG Farben. The foundation ...
The rubber was gathered by tapping a rubber vine and placing a pot beneath to collect the latex which could be used in the production of rubber for the European market. If the vines were a long distance from the ground the gatherer would have had to climb a tree, tap the plant and hold the collecting pot beneath the vine, possibly for an entire ...
