It is produced from petroleum compounds1 Styrene2 and Butadiene3 to create Styrene-Butadiene rubber, also known as SBR. As the name states, this is completely man-made and is plastic like most other conventional forms.
                  - 1: naturally occurring hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and may contain miscellaneous organic compounds. The name petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil.
                  - 2: The conventional method of producing styrene involves the alkylation of benzene with ethylene to produce ethylbenzene, followed by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene
                    - 3: Butadiene is produced commercially by extractive distillation from crude butylene concentration (C4) stream, a by-product of ethylene and propylene production.

- Synthetic latex has been successfully used in order to produce proprietary mortars (a short smoothbore gun for firing shells(technically called bombs) at high angles), screeds (a leveled layer of material… eg. cement), and surface coatings. These are often used to produce chemically resistant floor toppings.

- Synthetic latex is biodegradable and compostable

- Synthetic latex has an odor]]> 2020-10-16 15:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/836013237 Positives Of My Synthetic Material emmaboyle1 https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850895032 - More resistant to oil, certain chemicals, and oxygen
- Better aging (last longer) and weathering
- Resilience over a wider temperature range]]> 2020-10-22 01:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850895032 Negatives Of My Synthetic Material emmaboyle1 https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850896738 - Poor mechanical properties
- It’s tensile strength is weak
- It’s tear strength is also weak]]> 2020-10-22 01:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850896738 Pictures emmaboyle1 https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850898405 2020-10-22 01:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850898405 emmaboyle1 https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850902776 2020-10-22 01:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850902776 Websites I have Utilized To Collect My Information emmaboyle1 https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850904220 http://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/synthetic-latex]]> 2020-10-22 01:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaboyle1/9fq0ha0xjfuqx17x/wish/850904220
