Abstract
This chapter reflects the changes in the technology of one of the natural materials which was used as an adhesive long before modern synthetic polymers and which still maintains an important place. The chapter includes a few formulations from the first edition of this Handbook,1 others have been revised. More importantly, over the second and the present editions the introduction of natural rubber grafted with methyl methacrylate has been accompanied by greatly improved grading systems for the more simple product as well as chemically stabilized and chemically depolymerized products. Reclaimed rubber must now be regarded as obsolescent in the adhesives industries of advanced countries, partly because of its uncertain composition but partly on economic grounds; it may still have a place in autarchic economies.
