Rubber
A range of rubbers
which have been dried (cured) naturally and without the use of sulphurs
and drying agents, rendering this a low-toxicity/low-energy material.
Many of the rubbers supplied by this company are manufactured in thin
(3mm) sheets and then layered to form solid forms and details. The
rubber is also tapped using up to date sustainable techniques to ensure
the longevity of both the forestry and the industries that it supports.

durability to polyurethane foams, and its low toxicity during and
after production. There are many colour option and sheet sizes and
thicknesses vary.
