About natural rubber in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

cpc code 01950 covers the production and trade of natural rubber in its primary forms, such as sheets, plates, and strips. Natural rubber is a vital raw material for a wide range of industries, including automotive, construction, and consumer goods manufacturing. As a renewable and biodegradable resource, natural rubber plays a crucial role in the global economy and sustainability efforts.

Production process

The production of natural rubber begins with the harvesting of latex from rubber trees. The latex is then processed through a series of steps, including coagulation, drying, and grading, to produce various forms of natural rubber. Depending on the intended use, the rubber may undergo additional processing, such as vulcanization or compounding, to enhance its physical and chemical properties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the natural rubber industry include rubber trees, which are the source of the raw latex. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for harvesting, processing, and refining the rubber. Chemical additives, such as antioxidants and vulcanizing agents, may also be used to modify the rubber's characteristics.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the natural rubber industry are the various forms of natural rubber, including sheets, blocks, and crumb rubber. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, such as 22110 Manufacture of rubber tires and tubes, 22200 Manufacture of plastics products, and 23200 Manufacture of refined petroleum products. Natural rubber is a critical component in the production of tires, hoses, gaskets, and other rubber-based products.
