Answer:
Natural Rubber
Natural rubber, also called by other names of India rubber, latex, Amazonian rubber, caucho or caoutchouc, as initially produced, consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds, plus water. Thailand and Indonesia are two of the leading rubber producers.
Properties
Natural rubber has certain unique properties such as follows: Natural rubber combines high strength (tensile and tear) with outstanding resistance to fatigue. It has excellent green strength and tack which means that it has the ability to stick to itself and to other materials which makes it easier to fabricate.
Uses
Natural rubber is used in applications requiring a high level of wear and heat resistance. Thanks to its strength and compressibility, natural rubber is used in engineering applications, like anti-vibration mounts, drive couplings, springs, bearings, rubber bands, and adhesives.

Properties of natural rubber are:
- Natural rubber has a high tensile strength.
- It is resistant to fatigue from wear such as chipping, cutting or tearing.
- natural rubber has only moderate resistance to damage from exposure to heat, light and the ozone in the air.
Uses of natural rubber are:
- They are used in applications requiring a high level of wear and heat resistance due to its strength and comprehensibility
- natural rubber is used in engineering applications, like anti-vibration mounts, drive couplings, springs, bearings, rubber bands, and adhesives.
