Skim Rubber

overview of SKIM RUBBER

Skim Crepe/Block

is a by-product of Latex Concentrate. Following centrifugation, approximately 4-8 % of the total rubber along with a higher proportion of non-rubber substance remain in the serum phase, forming what is known as "Skim Latex." Through suitable methods involving neutralization and coagulation, this Skim Latex is converted to Skim Crepe or dried and marketed as Skim Block Rubber. It is a light-coloured rubber and suitable for products where the tear strength of the rubber is not critical.
Application: commonly used for car mat, rubber toys, rubber parts, rubber sheet, shoe soles, bicycle wheels, push cart wheels and castor wheels.
