Rubber and It`s 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 discoveredthat 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.
