5. Natural rubber, also called India rubber or
caoutchouc, as initially produced, consists of
polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with
minor impurities of other organic compounds plus
water
Currently, rubber is harvested mainly in
the form of the latex from certain trees.
The latex is a sticky, milky colloid drawn
off by making incisions into the bark and
collecting the fluid in vessels in a
process called "tapping"
6. The major commercial source of
natural rubber latex is the Pará rubber
tree (Hevea brasiliensis), a member of the
spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. This
species is widely used because it grows
well under cultivation and a properly
managed tree responds to wounding by
producing more latex for several years.
7. Cultivation
Rubber latex is extracted from rubber trees. The economic life period of rubber trees in plantations
is around 32 years – up to 7 years of immature phase and about 25 years of productive phase. The
soil requirement of the plant is generally well-drained, weathered soil consisting of laterite, lateritic
types, sedimentary types, nonlateritic red, or alluvial soils.
The climatic conditions for optimum growth of rubber trees are:
1. Rainfall of around 250 cm evenly distributed without any marked dry season and with at least 100 rainy days
per year.
2. Temperature range of about 20 to 34°C, with a monthly mean of 25 to 28°C
3. High atmospheric humidity of around 80%
4. Bright sunshine amounting to about 2000 hours per year at the rate of six hours per day throughout the year
5. Absence of strong winds
8. PRODUCTIVITY
Many high-yielding clones have been developed for
commercial planting. These clones yield more than 2,000 kg
of dry rubber per hectare per year, when grown under ideal
conditions.
13. Rubber is a commodity that is used in many
products and applications around the globe
(from industrial to household products). Around
70% percent of global production comes from
Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Indonesia is
the second largest producer of rubber after
Thailand in 2010.
15. While the world consumption rate of rubber has
been steadily increased over years with average
growth of 6.7%, the prospects of rubber
industry are enormous. As the second-largest
rubber producer, the Indonesian rubber industry
has shown a steady increased in production.
21. In 2013, productivity of rubbers reaches 3,2
millions ton (Ditjen Perkebunan, 2013) within
almost 16 percent (0,5 millions ton) adsorbed in
domestic needed and 84 percent (2,7 millions
ton) has exported. Raubber exported capacities
in2013 reaches 2,7 millions ton with values USD
6,91 billions.
22. PERKEBUNAN NUSANTARA
Product of PTPN areRubber - Latex, Crumb Rubber and Rubber Smoke Sheet
Throughout the globe, Sumatera, java, Borneo, and Sulawesi is well known as a
source of high quality rubber. Perkebunan Nusantara are devoted to cultivate some
of the best quality rubbers in the world.
RSS-1, SIR-10, SIR-20 and concentrated latex was capable to penetrated the
international market, in various tire factory such as Bridgestone, Dunlop, Good
Year, Firestone, Han Kook, and so on
PT. Perkebunan Nusantara have 3 processing facilities at present, namely Rubber
Thread Factory, Rubber Article Factory, and Cyclized Rubber Resin Factory. Rubber
Threads, Rubber Dockfender, Rubber Article, Rubber Cowmat, Conveyor Belt,
Rubber Karlet and Resin, are the main products of these factories.
Company's products has received Indonesian Industries Standard (SII) Certificate,
international quality certificate ISO 9001 : 2000 and ISO 14001 : 1996, TUV and
OCOTEX
27. CHANCE INTRACOPENTA
1. Heavy equipment distributor, what that’s business rubber
needed
2. Create the business opportunities in field of rubber business.
Terdapat sejumlah alasan yang memberikan peluang bagi kegiatan ekonomi utama alutsista untuk tumbuh dan berkembang di Indonesia, yaitu:
Indonesia memiliki ancaman perbatasan yang cukup tinggi sebagai akibat adanya perbatasan laut dan darat yang cukup luas. Kasus perbatasan di Indonesia sering memicu disharmonisasi hubungan dengan negara tetangga. Bentuk-bentuk pelanggaran yang terjadi sangat kompleks, mulai dari illegal fishing, Illegal mining, dan trading diantaranya berupa penambangan pasir, penebangan kayu, dan sebagainya;
Bentuk-bentuk pelanggaran tersebut menuntut upaya sistematis bangsa dan pemerintah untuk menyelamatkan perairan Indonesia, maupun meningkatkan kemampuan sumber daya untuk memanfaatkan laut Indonesia;
Posisi strategis Indonesia sebagai salah satu poros lalu lintas dunia internasional, menempatkan Indonesia rawan terhadap berbagai ancaman keamanan udara. Isu keamanan udara dengan potensi ancaman di masa mendatang meliputi ancaman kekerasan (pembajakan udara, sabotase obyek vital,
teror, dan sebagainya), ancaman pelanggaran udara (penerbangan gelap dan pengintaian terhadap wilayah Indonesia), ancaman sumber daya (pemanfaatan wilayah udara oleh negara lain), dan ancaman pelanggaran hukum melalui media udara (migrasi ilegal dan penyelundupan manusia).
