Natural rubber is officially recognised as a Critical Raw Material by the EU. 👈 Why? Because it’s vital for producing so many essentials in our modern world, yet its supply faces significant challenges. As we progress into the future, more focus will be placed on ensuring its sustainable sourcing and securing a reliable supply for industries that depend on it. After all, natural rubber is the backbone of countless industries worldwide. 🌍 #NaturalRubber #CriticalRawMaterial #RubberIndustry #Sustainability

🔥 Rubber to the Extreme 🔥 Did you know that space exploration wouldn’t be possible without rubber? 🚀 One of the most critical materials in spacecraft is Silicone Rubber—a polymer designed to handle the extreme challenges of outer space. Why Silicone? 👈 1⃣️ Silicone rubber can handle both scorching heat and freezing cold! 2⃣️ In space, materials face vacuum conditions that can cause outgassing (the release of trapped gases). Silicone rubber is specially formulated to minimise this, preventing equipment failure. 3⃣️ Whether it’s sealing airlocks or protecting sensitive electronics, silicone’s flexibility makes it an essential part of critical systems. Without this wonder material, we wouldn’t have the airtight seals that keep astronauts safe. No rubber, no breathable air in space. Kind of important, right?! 🤔 Space exploration relies on countless small yet critical components, and rubber is a star player. So next time you look up at the stars, remember: silicone rubber is helping humanity explore the universe! #SpaceExploration #SiliconeRubber #UKRubber #UKManufacturing

Rubber isn't just black and white! ⚫⚪️ Here we have made yellow natural rubber! By adding pigments during the milling process, natural rubber can be transformed into virtually any colour – from bold blue and vivid green to striking red or any custom shade you need. Why Use Different Coloured Rubbers? 🌈 Coloured rubber isn’t just about aesthetics – it serves real, practical purposes: Identification: Different colours make it easier to identify products, batches, or specific applications. Safety: High-visibility colours, like yellow and orange, improve safety in industrial environments. Branding: Custom colours can match your company’s branding or project requirements. Food-Grade Applications: In industries like food processing, rubber must meet FDA approval standards to ensure it’s safe, non-toxic, and suitable for direct or indirect food contact. Non-Marking Surfaces: Non-black rubbers are ideal for clean applications, such as medical equipment or food-grade environments From yellow to blue, green to red, natural rubber offers the flexibility to be both creative and practical while meeting critical industry standards. 🎨 What colour rubber would you choose for your next project?
