Rubber trees can be used for appreciation. Their leaves are wide and shiny. They can be kept at home as bonsai, can decorate homes, and purify the environment. They can also purify indoor air. Rubber trees have a strong ability to absorb smoke, and can also remove formaldehyde, toxic gases, hydrogen fluoride, etc., which can provide us with a healthier living environment.
In addition, rubber trees contain natural rubber. They are the most important rubber plants in nature and have great chemical functions. The main raw material for making rubber is natural rubber. Natural rubber is made by coagulating and drying the latex discharged when rubber trees are tapped. Natural rubber is widely used in industry, national defense, transportation, medical and health care, and daily life because of its strong ductility and good insulation performance, ductility, water resistance, fire resistance, temper resistance, compressive strength and wear resistance. It has a wide range of uses.
Seed oil is a raw material for the production of paint and soap. Rubber kernels can be used to make fiber. Rubber forests belong to the sustainable subtropical forest ecosystem and are a zero-pollution, renewable ecological resource. In the 1980s, Hainan Province's tree cover, dominated by rubber trees, created a good environment for sustainable development of water conservation and soil and water conservation, which not only further increased the forest coverage rate, but also played an important role in improving environmental conditions and maintaining the diversity of tropical climate organisms.
