What are the product categories of rubber?

It can be divided into block raw rubber, latex, liquid rubber and powder rubber. Latex rubber is a colloidal water dispersion of rubber; Liquid rubber is rubber oligomer, not vulcanized before the general viscous liquid; Powder rubber is the processing of latex into powder form, to facilitate the mixing and processing of production. Thermoplastic rubber, developed in the 1960s, was formed by the process of thermoplastic instead of chemical vulcanization. According to the use of rubber is divided into general type and special type two categories.

Rubber is an insulator and does not conduct electricity easily, but may become a conductor if it is exposed to water or at different temperatures. Conduction is concerned with the ease of conduction of electrons in molecules or ions within a substance. According to the source and method of raw materials: rubber can be divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber two categories. Among them, natural rubber consumption accounts for 1/3, synthetic rubber consumption accounts for 2/3.

According to the appearance of rubber: rubber can be divided into solid rubber (also known as dry rubber), emulsion rubber (referred to as latex), liquid rubber and powder rubber four categories.

According to the performance and use of rubber: in addition to natural rubber, synthetic rubber can be divided into general synthetic rubber, semi-general synthetic rubber, special synthetic rubber and special synthetic rubber.

According to the physical form of rubber: rubber can be divided into hard rubber and soft rubber, raw rubber and mixed rubber.

Divided by performance and use: general rubber and special rubber.
