Natural Rubber Standardized Processing Technology Wins the Science and Technology Progress Award

Hainan, China News, China Tropical Agricultural Sciences Academy of China's "Research, Development, Integration and Application of Standardized Processing Technology for Natural Rubber" project, won the second prize for national scientific and technological progress. The popularization and application of the results accelerated the adjustment of China's natural rubber industry structure, comprehensively improved the quality of China's natural rubber products, reduced production costs, and achieved obvious economic and social benefits.

Based on the actual situation of natural rubber production in China, the project has spent nearly 30 years to overcome a number of key technologies and major theoretical problems. A lot of systematic work has been done in the standardized processing technology of natural rubber, the comprehensive treatment technology of wastewater from natural rubber processing and the establishment of the standard system of natural rubber. The advanced standard rubber processing equipment and technology, concentrated natural rubber processing technology and quality control, standard rubber processing technology and equipment for miscellaneous rubber and comprehensive treatment technology of waste water from natural rubber production are studied and designed, and the quality standard system based on these technologies, equipment and products is formed. A complete set of standardized production technology of natural rubber products was developed.

In the process of research and development, the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences has formulated and issued more than 90 national and industrial standards covering the whole process of natural rubber production; eight national patents have been declared, including one authorized invention patent, four utility model patents, one invention patent and two utility models. And won a number of provincial and ministerial awards.

The popularization and application of this achievement has greatly improved the quality of natural rubber in China. The qualified rate of the product is over 98%, of which the first grade is over 95%, and the cost is generally reduced. At present, this achievement has been popularized and applied in more than 100 rubber processing factories in Hainan, Yunnan and Guangdong. In the past three years, the profit-generating tax has reached more than 5 billion yuan, which has produced enormous economic, social and ecological benefits.
