Raw rubber when heated to 130 c becomes soft and plastic.

At low temperature rubber becomes stiff and when it frozen it attains fibrous structure. The plasticity can be varied within certain ranges by chemicals. Grade and commercial lines of sheet rubber are available in durometers hardness grades from 10 90 durometer and thicknesses from 015 to 1 00. 888 362 6888 for free samples and tech support.

It is a multifaceted blend consisting of proteins alkaloids starches sugars oils tannins resins and gums that coagulates on exposure to air.
