Any of various products (such as GR-S, neoprene, butyl rubber, or nitrile rubber) that resemble natural rubber more or less closely especially in physical properties and ability to be vulcanized, that are made usually by polymerization of butadiene, isoprene, or similar unsaturated hydrocarbons or by copolymerization of such hydrocarbons with styrene, isobutylene, acrylonitrile, or other polymerizable compounds, and that have uses similar to those of natural rubber but are superior for some applications and inferior for others and are often used in combination with natural rubber.

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 rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) has achieved considerable commercial importance. The tree is native to the Amazon region and is now cultivated in virtually all tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia. 90% of the world’s production of natural rubber is harvested from the rubber tree.
The latex, which is rich in rubber, can be preserved by adding ammonia and for special purposes it can be transported to the countries in which it is processed as latex concentrate in liquid form. This is done in barrels or in tank containers. It is far more common to filter the harvested latex, dilute it with water and then to cause it to coagulate using substances such as acetic acid or formic acid or by means of electrophoresis. This separates the raw natural rubber from the water, forming a solid mass (coagulum) that is then further processed. Coagulation can also take place in the form of auto-coagulation on the tapping panel (tree lace) and the collection cups (shell scrap and cup lumps). Such coagulum has a greater degree of contamination, and is hence used in the natural rubber grades which have less stringent requirements with respect to contamination.
A distinction is drawn between the following forms of natural rubber:
- Ribbed Smoked Sheets
- Technically specified natural rubber (TSR)2
Rubber process oil can be prepared from crude oil, in particular lube oil fractions separated from crude oil. The lube oil fraction can be obtained as a distillate fraction, which contains a large amount of aromatic compounds having a high boiling point by vacuum distillation from residual oil which is separated from petroleum by atmospheric distillation Such lube oil fraction contains a large amount of polycyclic aromatics (PCAs). Rubber Process Oils are used during the processing and production of rubber compounds. These help in improving the dispersion of fillers and flow characteristics of the compound during further processing.
Different Names of RPO
Primary characteristics hydrocarbon in the presence of double bounded mix ring carbon structure.
Following are some other names of aromatic rubber process oil
- Aromatic Extract Oil
- Feed Stock Oil
- Carbon Black Oil
- PAH Rich Oil
- Furfural Extract OIL
Aromatic Rubber Process Oil
Aromatic Rubber Processing oil (ARPO) is the most commonly used rubber oil in rubber industry.Among the primary characteristics of ARPO is hydrocarbon, in the presence of double bounded mix ring carbon structure.
Naphthenic Rubber Process Oil
Naphthenic is a class of hydrocarbons also referred to as cycloparaffins. Though their structure is similar to the aromatic ring, these are single bonded thus having a stable structure. It used in LPG tube, shoe sole, automotive tube etc.
Paraffinic Rubber Process Oil
Paraffinic is a class of hydrocarbons constitutes branched chain or straight linked hydrocarbon molecules of various viscosities. It used in steam hoses, conveyor belts, heat resistant tube etc.
Application of RPO
Aromatic oil used in composition of tyres. It is an essential component for the technical performance of the tyre and in particular for its road adherence (or grip) properties. RPO contribute and directly play a part in the quality of the tyre and user safety. Tyres are used in large numbers on automobiles, trucks, aircraft and bicycles. RPO further use in production of different goods, Industrial hoses, Rubber sheets, Wire and Cable coverings, Flooring Materials, Tires Tubes, Battery Rubber Pad.
