Rubber
and Its Use
Rubber is
said to be the native of Brazil, in South- American. It is said that some of
the sailors went with Columbus in his voyage of discovery found children
playing with a kind of ball that could bounce. In 1736, a Frenchman discovered
that it came from a tree. He was hence the pioneer of the rubber plantations.
Rubber
trees were planted in Malaysia only recently. Rubber is called the “Green-gold”
of Malaysia because the product earns millions of dollars annually for the
country.
Rubber
plants by individual are mostly small-holdings whereas companies own thousands
of acres. A rubber estate is usually more than one hundred square acres. If it
is less, it is called a small-holding.
The uses
of rubber are countless; it is used in almost everything that we are using.
Airplanes, motor-cars, and motor-bicycle are impossibility, it is not for
rubber.
