Structural Formula of Natural Rubber
Generally, it is a flake solid with a relative density of 0.94, refractive index of 1.522, and elastic film content of 2 ~ 4MPa. It softenes at 130 ~ 140℃, becomes sticky at 150 ~ 160℃, and begins to degrade at 200℃. High elasticity at room temperature, slightly plastic, crystallization hardening at low temperature. Good alkali resistance, but not strong acid resistance. Insoluble in water, low ketones and alcohols, in non-polar solvents such as trichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride can swell.
