Natural rubber is a naturally occurring polymer obtained from the latex of rubber trees. It is a cis-1,4-polyisoprene polymer. Latex is extracted from rubber trees by making cuts in the bark. Natural rubber can be emulsion polymerized using Ziegler-Natta catalysts or anionically. It is used to make many products due to its elasticity, strength and chemical resistance including medical gloves, tubing and other medical products. Processing involves compounding, mixing, shaping and vulcanization to introduce crosslinks. Natural rubber is commercially graded according to quality standards.
