Product type
Skim rubber is a type of natural rubber that is produced as a byproduct during the processing of latex. It is typically made from the remaining solid rubber after the latex has been skimmed off for other uses. Skim rubber is characterized by its lower elasticity and higher filler content compared to other grades of natural rubber, making it suitable for various industrial applications. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of tires, footwear, and various rubber products where cost efficiency is a priority.

| Filler content | Up to 40% by weight |
When selecting skim rubber, buyers should consider the specific application and required properties such as hardness and filler content. It is important to specify the desired moisture content and any necessary certifications for quality assurance. Additionally, buyers should indicate the quantity needed, as bulk purchases may offer cost advantages.
