Rubber is a collective term for macromolecular substances of natural or synthetic origin (natural rubber or synthetic rubber). Natural rubber (abbreviated to NR) primarily comprises polyisoprene and is harvested from the milky white latex of a number of species of plants which flourish in the tropics, above all from the Spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). The most of the rubber products that are used today is made from synthetic rubber as natural rubber has certain mechanical, chemical and environmental resistance limitations. So synthetic rubbers are formulated in a proper and are used to manufacture a wide range of rubber products. Rubber is a material which is used to produce different objects used for various applications. A popular and a widely demanded use of rubber form are sheets which are used for different purposes. Rubber sheets are available in various lengths and widths. These sheets are cut according to customer requirements. Various types of rubber are used to make sheets. These sheets are very popular and used in an extensive range application. There are a comprehensive range of rubber sheets for general, industrial and mining applications. These sheets are also available in vulcanized black as well as colored sheets for technical uses and industrial applications. There can also be smooth surfaced rubber sheets or with a canvas-type print on one or both sides of the rubber sheets. These sheets insertions are usually designed for use in applications where stresses are generally static and pressures are low. There can be cloth insertion, metal mesh insertion, gauze, nylon cloth, and copper insertion. Moulding is an operation of shaping and vulcanizing the rubber compound by mass of heat and pressure, in mould of appropriate form. The goods thus produced are known as moulded goods. These moulded goods are used in day to day life in household electrical, surgical and automotive and other applications several thousands of types of moulded goods are being produced. There are many types of rubber sheets produced and are available in markets. They are neoprene rubber sheet, nitrile rubber sheet, EPDM rubber sheet, natural rubber sheet, hypalon rubber sheet, viton rubber sheet, silicone rubber sheet, SBR rubber sheet, etc. Global demand for industrial rubber products is estimated to rise to 4.3% annually through 2013 to $97.8 billion. Market advances in developing areas will further increase due to healthy economic growth, rising personal income levels, ongoing industrialization efforts and also due to growth in manufacturing output and fixed investment expenditures. The industrial equipment market, which includes industrial machinery and equipment, off-road vehicles, will continue to hold the largest share of aggregate demand in 2013. India’s production varies between 6 and 7 lakh tons annually which amounts to Rs. 3000 crores. Seventy percent of the total rubber production in India is in the form of Ribbed Smoked Sheets (RSS). This is also imported by India accounting for 45% of the total import of rubber. The Indian rubber industry has a turnover of Rs 12000 crores. Most of the rubber production is consumed by the tyre industry which is almost 52% of the total production of India. Among the states, Kerala is the leading consumer of rubber, followed by Punjab and Maharashtra. Though, India is one of the leading producers of rubber but it still imports rubber from other countries. At present, India is importing around 50000 tons of rubber annually. There is a very good scope in this field. New Entrepreneurs venturing in this field will find immense market potential.
