Synthetic rubber latex: Evolution from discovery to modern application

Comments · 13 Views

In the new millennium, with the further development of technology and increased environmental requirements, synthetic rubber latex will continue to evolve to meet the changing global demand.

Industrialization and application expansion
During World War II, the production of synthetic rubber latex reached its peak. The war disrupted the supply chain for natural rubber, forcing countries to find or expand production capacity for synthetic rubber latex. During this time, synthetic rubber latex moved from the laboratory to industrial-scale production, and continued to do so after the war. With the advancement of production technology and the reduction of costs, synthetic rubber latex has begun to be widely used in various industries, from tire manufacturing to medical equipment to various supplies in daily life.

Environmental impact and sustainable development
At the beginning of the 21st century, with the promotion of environmental protection awareness, the production and recycling process of synthetic rubber latex has received attention. The industry began to look for more environmentally friendly production methods to reduce the environmental impact in the production of synthetic rubber latex. At the same time, technologies for recycling and reusing synthetic rubber latex have been developed to reduce waste and promote the sustainability of this material.
