A rubber factory is a facility where natural or synthetic rubber is produced and processed. The production process typically involves the extraction of latex from rubber trees, such as the Hevea brasiliensis, or the polymerization of petroleum-based materials. The rubber is then refined and shaped into various products, including tires, seals, and gaskets. In addition to manufacturing, rubber factories often focus on quality control and research to improve rubber properties. They may also recycle used rubber products to create new materials, contributing to sustainability efforts. The industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting various sectors like automotive and construction.
