Plastic is made even without the use of milky white sap
Plastic can be produced from nature Today, plastic is made even without the use of rubber tree gum. Oil has replaced the viscous sap of the tree. The advantage of oil over latex is that it is cheaper. Despite advances in the production of plastics from synthetic materials, rubber can still not be completely abandoned. For example, if car tires are made only of synthetic plastic, they heat up very quickly, which is why about 50% of rubber is used in each tire ring. From its raw materials, after performing interactions, various types of tires are made, which are mainly used in tire manufacturing, shoe making, all vehicles, buildings and other industries. Rubber is one of the most essential materials in modern life. Due to its extraordinary elastic properties, rubber is used to make a variety of products, including hospital supplies, home appliances and toys. There is a growing interest…
Conveyor belt
Conveyor belt What is a conveyor belt? The conveyor belt system consists of two or more pulleys with a connected ring carrying the equipment – the conveyor belt itself – that rotates around them, creating a tensile effect for the goods it carries. By electric force, one or more pulleys are started to work and the power is increased, and this causes the belt and the devices on it to move forward and along the system. Belts are made up of one or more layers of material. It is common for belts to have three layers: an upper cover, a central cover and a lower cover. However, there are cases where more layers are required depending on the goods being transported on the conveyor system. The purpose of the center layer is to increase the strength and shape of the conveyor system, and it is often made of fabric or…
Tapping rubber tree and new methods
In one of the rubber tree plantations in Hainan Islands, natural rubber collecting robots have been used experimentally. This robot can move easily in the forest with the help of a positioning system; While extraction machines are also installed on the trees. These machines and robots are to be officially put into operation by the end of this year. This automated method is expected to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs in the industry. Hainan is one of the key raw material production areas in China. A new rubber tapping industrial robot with an STM32WL is transforming plantations in China and South-East Asia. The project, led by CIHEVEA, a Chinese company, uses LoRa® to optimize tapping operations. For instance, the robot takes the weather into account to cut trees at optimal times and improve working conditions. Indeed, as the workforce still struggles with the global pandemic, the smart rubber tapping…
Polybutadiene golf balls
Golf is one of the most popular outdoor games in Scotland and is played individually or as a team. In this sport, the player must be physically and mentally fit. In golf, the athlete uses a stick to send the ball quickly into a small pit. First Golf pitch established in 1893, The Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC) is the founding ground of golf in Malaysia and the premier Malaysia golf club. Weight 127 to 141 grams Size Diameter 26 cm Color White Material Plastic or composite leather A golf ball is about half the size of a baseball or tennis ball. It was originally made of heavy leather, but today it is made by wrapping a rubber band around the core. Most golf balls are made of polybutadiene, which has a rubbery state, so it is very strong and durable and does not break at all, also to increase…
