Does SMR and industry related ?
The first rubber material used by humans was natural rubber. Most of this material is obtained from the trees of “Hua brasilinsis” (native tree of Brazil). However, it can be obtained from about 50 types of trees, shrubs and other types of plants. Undoubtedly, the accidental or intentional injury of these trees, which caused their leachate to leak, aroused human curiosity and paved the way for his access to this substance, which is an obvious and unquestionable necessity in the field of industry today.

The name of rubber was chosen by the South American Indians for this material: “Cao” means tears and “Achu” means tree. Most of this material is obtained from the trees of “Hua brasilinesis” (native tree of Brazil). The production method of most SMR rubbers is such that first these rubbers are shredded by certain physical and chemical actions and then washed and dried. The pieces are then compressed into bundles weighing approximately 70 to 75 pounds and wrapped in a layer of polyethylene and packed in one-tonne wooden pallets. Types of natural rubber
