Question

Is synthetic rubber better than natural rubber? If so, in what respect?

✓

Answer

Yes. Synthetic rubber is more resistant to abrasion than natural rubber and is also superior in resistance to heat and the effects of aging (lasts longer). Many types of synthetic rubber are flame-resistant, so they can be used in insulation for electrical devices.

It also remains flexible at low temperatures and is resistant to grease and oil. It is resistant to heat, light and certain chemicals.
