Rubber and automotive

The automotive sector accounts for 65% of the production of general rubber goods. Beyond tyres, wiper blades, seals, air and radiator hoses and seatbelts list rubber as their main components. Rubber is resistant to several chemicals used in a car and can withstand the heat and cold. Rubber is also used to make gaskets used in cars, which help create a seal so there is no leak when fluids are flowing through junction areas in a pipe or a hose. Rubber is also used to cover electrical wires and to create shields for electrical parts and pieces in a car.
