Natural rubber is the oldest known form of rubber. It occurs naturally in the bark layers of certain plants, from which latex (rubber) can be tapped. These plants originally come from South America, but today, Asian countries account for the majority of global rubber production.
As demand for rubber grew, synthetic rubber types were developed in the mid-20th century, offering the advantage of being designed to resist specific influences such as high heat, chemicals, ozone, etc.
Natural rubber accounts for approximately 40% of rubber grades worldwide, with synthetic rubber making up the remaining 60%.
Natural rubber is suitable for components that must withstand heavy loads and continuous wear. Components should be protected from ozone exposure, so natural rubber is often recommended for parts inside machines. It is also important that components do not come into contact with oils or oil-based fluids.
Transportation
At Gravlund Industrigummi, we produce a wide variety of natural rubber components, including shock absorbers, buffers, and engine mounts for the transport sector. Natural rubber is particularly suited to these applications due to its abrasion resistance and shock-absorbing properties.
Industrial companies
For industry, we mass-produce gaskets, seals, balls, membranes, and more — all made from natural rubber, which can withstand the intense wear experienced in production.
