What is origin of SMR ?
History of Natural rubber in Malaysia
Surely, the name of natural rubber is very familiar to your ears, you have heard its name from this and that many times, or you have even bought products of this material. Also called Amazon rubber, it is a polymer from the family of organic compounds of isoprene, which includes impurities from other organic compounds, and water is also a part of its components. Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia Can be called the three main pillars of Asia and the world in the production of natural rubber.
What is SMR?
SMR, which stands for Standard Malaysian Rubber or Standard Malaysian Rubber, is a class of natural rubber that is graded based on technical and professional specifications instead of the usual visual standards. It is very high and pure latex, which has the highest quality and the best features This category of natural rubbers has been tested many times in industry and its quality and viscosity are carefully controlled. It is known as one of the most valuable types of natural rubber in the world, which has attracted a wide market due to its organic nature and high elasticity.
Facts About Natural Rubber
Natural rubber is produced organically and directly from plants and is known as a kind of chemical polymer. This material is one of the most important polymers in the history of human society. Natural rubber can be an essential raw material for the production of almost 50,000 different products. Applications of this substance can be followed in the production of medical devices, aircraft and car equipment, clothing, toys and even pacifiers. Some plants containing rubber, have leachate in the latex ducts of the plant that It is actually made inside the cells of the rubber-producing plant.
About 20,000 different species of plants in the world produce latex. Natural rubber in plants is very important to cover the damaged area of plants and heal the wounds of plants. The reason can also be to prevent the entry of harmful bacteria and viruses. With the advancement of technology, many industrial plants have started to produce all kinds of synthetic rubbers, which are sometimes very deceptive and similar to natural rubber in terms of features and characteristics. But so far no human being has been able to produce rubber. Artificial rubber does not have all the properties of natural rubber. In many applications, synthetic rubber can not replace high quality natural rubber. That is why natural rubber is still very important to human society.
History of natural rubber ?
From 1600 BC, the people of Central America and Mexico used natural rubber to make a variety of medicines, in various ceremonies and for painting. It was after the conquest of the Americas that natural rubber and its vast benefits, the world Cross the West! Later, writings from Indigenous and Spanish immigrants in South America suggested that people had incorporated natural rubber into their shoes, hats, and even clothing because of their greater resistance, longer life, and water resistance. The clothes they produced had several basic problems. The tires produced by them became sticky in the face of the heat of the air and hardened and cracked in the face of the severe cold of the air.
A century later, two native trees, Hiva brasiliensis and Castilla elastica, were discovered in South America, and the hiva tree quickly became known as an important source of natural rubber around the world. This tree is still one of the most important sources of natural rubber production in the world. Years later, Malaysia, with the introduction of newer products and a type of natural rubber of extraordinary quality, quickly attracted the attention of the international community. SMR natural rubber, with incredible properties and impressive quality, which It made the country one of the largest producers of organic rubber in the world with extraordinary speed.
History of Standard Malaysian rubber
Natural and organic SMR rubber is harvested on dry days, because the rain hinders the operation of this crop. Although Hiva Brazillins is the main home of the Amazon: The SMR rubber tree is a large tree that can grow up to 15-20 meters. Therefore, the planting distance of these trees is between 3-5 meters apart and about 250-350 plants are planted per hectare. It takes three years for this tree to reach the watering stage. Then the experienced workforce will harvest and collect the rubber of this tree.
