Synthetic Rubber vs.

Natural Rubber

Basically they are two gasses

that are mixed together.

Synthetic rubber has been around for

thousands of years. Egyptian carvings show the gluing together of thin pieces of decorative wood to a wooden plank. Fibers in ancient fabric were joined together with flour paste, and gold leaf (Thin sheet of gold) was bonded to paper with the egg white (White part of an egg).

Natural rubber is a renewable resource because it's natural resource is latex, which comes from trees. It is harvested from the rubber tree to make latex, to make natural rubber. It is processed in dry forms. So, natural rubber comes from latex. Then, the latex is filtered, washed, and reacted with acid to make the particles can stick together. A positive effect

on society is that it is

renewable.

Chemical Process

There are two gases that are mixed together with soapsuds in a reactor. These two gases are called butadiene and styrene. The chemical reaction that takes place is when liquid latex is made from mixing these gases. This liquid is turned into a solid/solid-liquid state into crumbs. It is then washed, dried, and finally it is baled, ready for shipment. It is not made at any special temperature. They use explosive-proof equipment because it is flammable.

My Thoughts

(Click the next arrow)

I believe that natural rubber is much better than synthetic rubber because it is renewable, and it is also easier to make than synthetic rubber. Also, natural rubber is NATURAL, so it was always natural until WWII. So, I think natural rubber is much better than synthetic rubber.

Synthetic rubber is nonrenewable. The natural resources to make synthetic rubber are collected. They are processed by first, examining them to make sure that they are all solid.

They are checked to make sure it is solid because, the more solid, the more money. Like before, the gases are mixed together with liquid latex, then the solids are washed, dried, and baled for shipment. The only really good thing about them is that they can be recycled. It is actually easier to make natural rubber than synthetic rubber.
