1. A rubber tree is tapped by cutting a thin strip of bark about 0.04 in (1 mm) deep off the tree as high up as the worker can easily reach.
2. Later strips will be cut below the first one. 3. Each strip reaches about halfway around the circumference
of the tree and slants downward at an angle of about 30 degrees to allow the latex to drain into a container.
4. If the latex is allowed to coagulate (thicken) naturally, each cut will produce about 1 oz (28 g) of latex before the latex stops flowing after a few hours.
5. A chemical may be applied to the bark to prevent the latex from coagulating, allowing it to flow for several days.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 7
6. The collected latex passes through a sieve to remove foreign objects.
7. Water is added to the latex and the mixture is pumped into large horizontal tanks containing aluminum partitions.
8. Dilute acetic acid or formic acid is added to make rubber coagulate into slabs on the partitions.
9. The slabs are sprayed with water while they pass through a series of rollers.
10. Excess water is removed by another series of rollers. The slabs are packed in bales, usually weighing 225-250 lb (102-113 kg), in the shape of cubes about 2 ft (60 cm) on each side.
11. The bales (packages) are coated with clay to prevent sticking, bound with metal straps, and shipped to manufacturers.

Depending on what kind of synthetic rubber is being made, a wide variety of manufacturing processes may be used.
The most common form of synthetic rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, is usually made in an emulsion process.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 10
1. Various chemicals are obtained from petroleum by fractional distillation.
2. This process involves heating petroleum to about 600-700° F (315-370° C) and allowing the vapor to pass through a tall vertical tower.
3. As the vapor rises through the tower, it cools. Chemicals with different boiling points change from gas to liquid at different points inside the tower and are collected.
4. Chemicals with very high boiling points remain in the liquid state when the petroleum is heated and can be removed from the bottom of the tower. Chemicals with very low boiling points remain in the form of gases and can be removed from the top of the tower.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 11
5. Other chemicals are obtained by catalytic cracking. This process involves heating petroleum to about 850-900° F (454-510° C) under pressure in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst causes chemical reactions to take place. The new mixture of chemicals are then separated by fractional distillation.
6. Styrene and butadiene are obtained by subjecting certain chemicals derived from petroleum to various chemical reactions. The styrene is a liquid under normal conditions, but the butadiene is a gas and must be stored under pressure to keep it in a liquid form.

MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 19
Materials that are made of polymers linked by intermolecular interactions or van der Waals forces, forming linear or branched structures.
Greater the mixing of string = Greater the effort to separate the
strings from each other. Due to friction that occurs between each of the cords which offers
resistance to separate. Friction represents the intermolecular forces that holds together the
polymer.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 20
Polymer can take 2 types of structures (depending on the degree of intermolecular interactions between polymer chains.
1. Amorphous (formless) structure: Polymer chains acquire a bundled structure – responsible for
the elastic properties of thermoplastic materials.
2. Crystal (crystal-like) structure: Polymer chains acquire an ordered & compacted structure such
as lamellar structures.
Responsible for mechanical properties of resistance to stresses or loads & temperature resistance of thermoplastic materials.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 21
Polymers with high concentration of amorphous (formless) structures = material have less resistance to loads but excellent elasticity.
Polymers with high concentration of crystalline (crystal-like) structures = material will be very strong & even stronger than thermoset materials but little elasticity = the materials become more fragile.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 22
It may melt before passing to a gaseous state.
Allow plastic deformation when it is heated. They are soluble in certain solvents. Swell in the presence of certain solvents. Good resistance to creep.

MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 25
Materials that are made by polymers joined together by chemical bonds, acquiring a highly cross-linked polymer structure.
The highly cross-linked structure produced by chemical bonds in thermoset materials, is directly responsible for the high mechanical and physical strength compared with thermoplastics or elastomers materials
Highly cross-linked structure provides a poor elasticity or elongation of thermoset.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 26
IMAGINE: A set of strings mixed with each other; Each of these strings = polymer Make knots between each strings = more knots made more
ordered & rigid set of strings Knots represent chemical bonds. Thus polymers are strongly linked to each other & form
highly cross-linked polymeric structures.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 27
GEL POINT Refers to the time when the material changes from
an irreversible way-viscous (sticky) liquid state to a solid state during the curing process.
Once has been transferred, the material stops flowing & it can not be molded.
DISADVANTAGES No ability to recycle – once they are cross-linked or
cured it is impossible to return to a liquid phase material.
Have the property of not melt or deforming in presence of temperature or heat to a gaseous state to a liquid state.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 28

Epoxy Adhesives Unsaturated polyester adhesives Polyurethane Adhesives by heat curing 1 component Anaerobic Adhesives
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 31
Adhesive or glue as a non-metallic material which is able to join 2 substrates using adhesion mechanisms (developed between the adhesive and substrate) and cohesive mechanism (developed within the adhesive itself).
Composed by organic polymers in a liquid state when applied and become a solid state after further curing or hardening.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 33
Substrate = Corresponds to the material we wish to adhesive or join, for example: If we bond 2 aluminum plates, each of the aluminum
plates will be the substrate, in this example both the substrate 1 and substrate 2 are equal.
If you want to bond a glass front of a painted aluminum frame, we will have the substratum of glass and painted aluminum substrate in this example the substrate 1 is different from the substrate 2.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 34
Adhesion – adhesion are all the forces or mechanisms that keep the adhesive with each substrate,
The term refers to all adhesion mechanisms or forces located in a thin layer (boundary layer) between the substrate and the adhesive itself.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 35
Cohesion forces are all the forces or mechanisms that hold the adhesive itself.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 36
The adhesives materials allows joint substrates with different geometries, sizes and composition. With the adhesive we can joint glass, plastics, metals, ceramics.
The use of adhesives eliminates the corrosion associated with dissimilar metals joining with different galvanic potential, such as the joining of steel with aluminum.
The use of adhesive as bonding material does not produce any deformation in the materials or substrates, eliminating metal grinding processes (grinding and putty), reducing the manufacturing cost and improving the aesthetics of the product.
Does not produce any mechanical aggression to the substrate, avoiding any damage to the structure of the material.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 37
Great flexibility in the product design as well as an improvement in its aesthetics.
Reduction of the product weight, in the case of traction vehicles (cars, ships, locomotives) weight reduction is directly linked to reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions to the environment.
Increasing the resistance to impact and fatigue resistance using elastic adhesive, increasing reliability and product life cycle.
Homogeneous distribution of tensions throughout the union allowing the elimination of stress concentrations that can lead to the fracture of the union.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 38
Reduction of noise and vibration.
Reduction in the number of components such as screws, nuts, washers, rivets, etc necessary for the union, reducing the manufacturing cost of the union.
Sealing function and protection against corrosion.
Special adhesives prepared to conduct electricity or electrical insulator, are usually used in the field of electronics.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 39
Time to cure - The final strength of the adhesive bond is not obtained immediately, unlike the case with a rivet or a screw, you must wait a time to solidify or cure the adhesive, this time depends on the choice of adhesive to be used, and also sometimes it depends on the environmental conditions that make the bonding process. If you want to reduce this waiting time you can use a chemical booster compatible with the adhesive.
Resistance to temperature - Adhesives are polymer-based materials, for this reason the adhesives and glues have an average resistance to temperature, adhesives silicone-based are more resistant to temperature adhesives, that kind of glues can withstand temperatures reaching point of 800 °C.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 41
Ageing i. The long-term strength of adhesive bonding is affected by various
physical and chemical actions which are in the environment, actions such as ultraviolet light, chemical attacks on the environment, the presence of moisture .
ii. There are adhesives that are not altered against ultraviolet light while others break down in front of this radiation.
iii. The solution to this problem is to select an adhesive according to the environmental conditions in later work; this will allow us to perform a series of accelerated aging tests in order to observe the goodness of the adhesive bond.
Surface Preparation i. As in the process of painting, surface preparation required prior to adhesive
application process in order to achieve good adhesion between the adhesive and the substrate.
ii. Surface preparation that will vary depending on the materials to be bonded, the adhesive selected and technical requirements needed to fulfill the adhesive bond.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 42
Removal or disassembly
i. As in the welding or rivet process, the process of disassembly adhesive bonds can destroy or distort the substrates joint together.
ii. being an expensive process to do, this does not happen when using techniques such as bolting, so that those unions that require disassembly during maintenance work during the life of the product, must perform techniques that allow easy disassembly and assembly, such as using screws, velcro, etc.
Safety and Environment
i. Due to the basis of the adhesives are chemical compounds, it is necessary to define the necessary actions to prevent human exposure to these products during the time of application.
ii. These measures will depend on the application amount and the type of the adhesive, glue or sealant used. Also you must properly manage the waste generated during the application process for further treatment and recycling.
MAK/BLD62003/RUBBER 43
Special process i. Like with the technique of welding, adhesive technique is a special
process, depending on the complexity and risk involved in the union made with adhesive, and the area or sector that uses it
ii. It is necessary to have staff who deal with the design, monitoring, verification and application with the proper skills and capacity that can ensure the correct process of adhesive, such as an industrial level is currently being implemented.
