As outlined by IQS Directory in the article “Types of Rubber Used for Rubber Molding”, the world of rubber molding is vast and constantly evolving. With countless materials to choose from—each with unique mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties—the success of molded rubber components largely depends on selecting the right material for the job.

Rubber used in molding typically falls into two categories: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. While natural rubber, derived from latex, is prized for its tensile strength and elasticity, synthetic rubbers are engineered for specific conditions like chemical exposure, heat, and abrasion. Most modern industrial applications depend on synthetics due to their predictable performance and durability.
