How are rubber materials classified?

The types of rubber materials are also very rich, and the choice of rubber materials in different situations is also different. So let's take a look at what types of rubber materials there are and how rubber materials are classified.

1. According to the source and method of raw materials

Rubber materials can be divided into two categories: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Among them, the consumption of natural rubber accounts for 1/3, and the consumption of synthetic rubber accounts for 2/3.

2. According to the appearance of rubber materials

Rubber materials can be divided into four categories: solid rubber (also known as dry rubber), latex rubber (referred to as latex), liquid rubber and powder rubber.

3. According to the performance and use of rubber materials

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.

4. According to the physical form of rubber materials

Rubber materials can be divided into hard rubber and soft rubber, raw rubber and mixed rubber, etc.

5. According to the type of rubber material and the form of cross-linking

According to the functions of heat resistance and oil resistance, it can be divided into ordinary rubber, heat-resistant rubber, oil-resistant rubber, weather-resistant rubber, special chemical medium-resistant rubber, etc.
