One Hundred Years of Rubber
The American Chemical Society’s (ACS) Rubber Division is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Yulex Corporation celebrated this centennial milestone with a presentation by Yulex Senior Vice President of Research and Development Dr. Katrina Cornish at the Rubber Division’s Technical Meeting in Akron, Ohio this week.
According to Dr. Cornish, the next hundred years of rubber history belong to guayule! “With a history that spans Model-T tires to today’s high-performance Type I Latex Allergy safe products, guayule has both a long history and an exciting, diverse future,” said Dr. Cornish
Dr. Cornish’s presentation, entitled A Century of History has Created a Sustainable Economic Reality: The Next Hundred Years of Rubber Belong to Guayule will be available soon. For more information on the ACS’s Rubber Division, visit www.rubber.org.
