Neoprene was the first ever successful synthetic rubber created, dating back to 1930. Natural rubber was in such high demand during the 1920’s that the prices kept rising. The demand leads to a search for a comparable synthetic rubber. It was during 1930, that a chemist from DuPont, produc...
Made of synthetic rubber called nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), nitrile has been long used as a substitute for latex gloves. It is more advisable for use during direct contact. Aside from being latex-free, nitrile gloves offer the best protection among other medical-grade gloves. The barrier ...
The finished synthetic rubber is then sorted by thickness, and it is loaded onto pallets to be shipped to manufacturers of apparel, scuba gear, or wet suits. Once a pallet of these sheets arrives at a textile factory, the manufacturer creates a stack of about 10-15 sheets. The pattern of...
EPDM is a durable, waterproof, elastomeric, and highly flexible synthetic rubber which is well-suited for use as a single-ply roofing material for many reasons. “EPDM” is an acronym for “ethylene propylene diene monomer”, which is the full chemical name of EPDM rubber. ...
