Rubber
Delve into the remarkable world of Natural Rubber, a versatile agricultural product obtained from the latex of the Hevea brasiliensis rubber tree. Native to the Amazon region and now cultivated extensively in tropical countries, this remarkable tree has become an important part of Sri Lanka’s agricultural heritage and export industry. Carefully nurtured by skilled rubber growers, mature rubber trees are tapped to collect their valuable latex, which forms the foundation of many essential rubber products used around the world.
Sri Lankan Natural Rubber
Witness the traditional craftsmanship behind Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) Rubber, one of Sri Lanka’s important natural rubber products. Freshly collected latex undergoes a carefully controlled process of coagulation, rolling and washing before being formed into characteristic ribbed sheets. These sheets are then dried and smoked under controlled conditions, creating the distinctive appearance, colour and properties associated with Ribbed Smoked Sheet Rubber.
