The Rubber

The automotive industries of the early XX century remain totally dependent on natural rubber for the tires and other components, until World War II. After Japan entered the war in 1941, most Asian rubber sources were cut from the Allies. In reaction of this situation they were started looking for alternative sources of natural rubber and then developed synthetic rubber. Although the synthetic rubber industry revived when the war ended, and now represent some 60 of all rubber production in the world.

Cheaper than natural rubber, it is preferable for some purposes, for example in car tiers, where its higher abrasion resistance is useful, and it is either blended with natural rubber or used alone for industrial molding and extrusions, shoe soles, hoses, and latex foam.
