What is synthetic rubber ?
Synthetic rubber is made of certain kinds of hydrocrabons. Of these, butadine is the most important. These hydrocarbons are obtained from coal, crude petroleum and alcohol. By the end of the Second World War, the combined production of synthetic rubber by USA and Germany alone was almost equal to that of natural rubber. Synthetic rubber is more oil-resistant than natural rubber. In the international market, natural rubber is facing severe competition from synthetic rubber.
