Natural rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are generally prepared by dissolving a natural rubber in an organic solvent such as toluene, hexane or heptane, and then dissolving therein a compounding additive such as a tackifier resin or a softening agent.
There are major advantages like flexibility, good resistance to moisture, and excellent bonding strength. They are commonly used in applications where flexibility is required, as they can withstand movement and expansion without losing their adhesive properties
