But no less, than 90 per cent, of the world’s natural rubber is grown in countries now in Japanese hands. Therefore the nations at war have to use rubber, with the greatest economy and old rubber is salvaged as systematically as old iron. The chemical industry is helping to conserve rubber. The British research chemist has discovered and developed many of the chemicals used in the rubber industry, including substances which enable both natural and synthetic rubber to be reclaimed more quickly than hitherto. Synthetic rubbers of various kinds, made from common raw materials like coal and oil, are being developed on a large scale. Research is making it possible for chemical works to produce a range of synthetic rubbers suited for many uses—uses which are not restricted to the needs of war. Rubber, the munition, has stimulated this research, but rubber, the peacetime necessity, will reap the benefits. The future of rubber is likely to be in the laboratory and factory IC-/ I as much as on the plantation. No. 16 in the of <tn Industry’ series inserted by IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES (N.Z.)
