Eco Materials - 5 - water proofing

Rubber

Expanded Silicone Rubber Foam

- made from aerated silicone

- low toxic

- durable

- difficult to find information about the product - makes me this is not easily accessible 

Natural Rubber

- naturally dried

- biochemical process

- made from organic tapping from trees and water

- Waterproof

-The Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) has 11 Members; governments of Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam

Due to where the material can be sourced from I don't think this material would work due to the carbon footprint it would create when transporting to England.

Rubber Sheet

- Made from 100% recycled wellington boots.

- range of thicknesses

Vulcanised Rubber

- This rubber can be injection moulded

- makes the rubber keeps its elasticity - possible be a good idea for transporting 

- Durable

- Vulcanization chemically combines the rubber and sulfur.

 I don't like the idea of a eco friendly product being made with chemicals 

thoughts

what I need to be careful about is that I don't use a material that is to thick
