	EH.Net Encyclopedia: The International Natural Rubber Market, 1870-1930
		After collecting the rubber, tappers would go back to their shacks and smoke the resin in order to make balls of partially filtered and purified rough rubber that could be sold at the ports.
		Rubber was taken, like other commodities, to ports in Europe and the US to be distributed to the industries that bought large amounts of the product in the London or New York commodities exchanges.
		Prior to the development of the automobile as a mass-marketed phenomenon, the Brazilian wild rubber industry was capable of meeting world demand and, furthermore, it was impossible for rubber producers to predict the scope and growth of the automobile industry prior to the 1900s.

	Rubber Summary
		Rubber production is labor intensive, as are all plantation economies, and requires countless individuals to tend the plants, tap them one by one for their gum, and then bring the raw material to a collection point.
		Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer which occurs as a milky emulsion (known as latex) in the sap of several varieties of plants.
		Natural rubber is often vulcanized, a process by which the rubber is heated and sulfur is added to improve resilience and elasticity, and to prevent it from perishing.

	A National Historic Chemical Landmark: United States Synthetic Rubber Program

		This article focuses on the reasons why the United States Rubber Company (USRC), one of the four largest U.S. rubber manufacturers, promoted welfare capitalism at its rubber plantations on the east coast of Sumatra and Malaya between 1910 and 1942.
		This article argues that USRC's intention was not to forestall unionization (the intention of U.S.-based companies in adopting welfare capitalism), as union formation in Southeast Asia during that period was very unlikely, but to overcome labor shortages and high turnover rates and to ensure labor stability.

	Rubber
		Rubber is a natural polymer, obtained by collecting and processing the sap of the hevea brasiliensis, a tree common to tropical areas.
		The combination of calendaring (reinforcing rubber with a textile product, developed by the l820's and l830's) and vulcanization led to the development of improved boots and rainwear, and the appearance of new industrial products such as hose, belts, insulation, and sundries such as balloons, surgical and dental products.
		By the turn-of-the century, rubber boots, raincoats, hoses, balloons and even tires had become familiar features of American life, and the rubber industry was rapidly assuming its twentieth century form.

		Of the two sites predicted to be at the highest potential risk (the Uncas Manufacturing Company and the United States Rubber Company), only the United States Rubber Company had heavy metals in its soil.
		Many of the sites had VOC's in their soils, which could mean either that commerce taking place at these sites after 1956 (the latest date for which this project had data) left behind VOC's in the soil, or that the methodology underestimates the amount of time that VOC's may persist in the soil.
		The amount of lead in soil samples from the Brown and Sharpe Manufacturing Company was on average 710 ppm, while the amount of lead in soil samples from the Providence Base Works of the GE Company ranged from 182 ppm to 488 ppm.
