What is cold rubber?
Cold rubber is a type of rubber used to make vehicle tires. The reason it is referred to as cold rubber is due to the production process. It is a synthetic rubber that is produced at low temperatures, which is approximately 41 ° F (5 ° C). One of the advantages of cold rubber is that it is a stronger rubber than other types of rubber, which are produced at higher temperatures. In the decade after the war, in the 1950s, Marvel embarked on the program to create a synthetic rubber. His efforts have led to the creation of many new synthetic polymers. Marvel used German research and knowledge of the war to develop the American process of cold rubber. The American space program was looking for a synthetic rubber that could maintain high temperatures. The cold rubber process and the product invented by Marvel's process met the needs of the American space program. It is a material that has elasticity and is extracted from the latex sap of trees such as the genera Hevea and Ficus. This type of latex trees can then be vulcanized and completeEN to different products. The most popular product is car tires.
While tires are the most popular use for cold rubber, you will find other products that also use cold rubber. For example, some military knife handles use cold rubber to grip. The strength of the rubber helps again when the knives are used in military combat training or military struggle.
This form of synthesized rubber is also recyclable material. One way to cut old rubber tires cold into pieces that are about the size of mulčekousky. For landscaping, people use rubber pieces as mulch for landscaping purposes. This serves a double purpose.
first maintains synthetic materials that are rubber tires made of landfills. Secondly, it provides mulch for homeowners and commercial property owners to help decorate flower beds, nTrees Adation and more. The use of recycled synthesized rubber also shows social conscience for environmental protection.
