Rubber and Latex
Rubber & Latex Manufacturing
The future of the rubber and latex industry is driven by innovation. Geo40 recognises the desire to decarbonise production in the rubber & latex market, which is combined with the ever-constant demand for improved end-user product performance features.
The immense scale of this industry presents a compelling opportunity for Geo40’s sustainable colloidal silicas to reduce reliance on the usage of carbon black and high-carbon silica as performance enhancing fillers that have a significant environmental impact.
Over the last five years, Geo40 has undertaken extensive research and development studies to advance aspects of the natural rubber and latex production process into a new production era. Working with industry leaders, respected academic institutions, and innovative rubber & latex producers, the GeoRUBBER40 and GeoLATEX40 range of low-carbon colloidal silicas has been developed and is commercialising and market ready.
This is a game-changer. Geo40’s colloidal silicas have successfully been incorporated within the production process of natural rubber and latex and in doing so are set to lower the collective carbon footprint of the industry.
Geo40 seeks to promote enhanced product performance characteristics of GeoRUBBER40 & GeoLATEX40, positively impacting material and mechanical properties, alongside increasing the sustainability of everyday natural rubber and latex products.
