      There is no rubber made from hemp available. However, they have produced a polymeric composite that has been reinforced with hemp fibers. They have seen a significant improvement in both physical and mechanical performance thanks to the addition of hemp fibers.

      Yes, you can make hemp rubber, though currently “hemp rubber” refers to hemp-reinforced regular rubber. Continental Tires have, however, announced that they had made the first-ever set of tires out of rubber sourced entirely from a plant. That plant is not hemp but is instead dandelions. Yes, dandelions, those same plants that we consider “weeds” on our lawns! Hopefully, if similar research continues, there will soon be tires and other rubber-based products made solely from hemp.

        Do you have any idea the cost of these compared to traditional tires? Do they last longer?

      From what I know about hemp rubber, there has been a lot of experimental work done with a range of natural fibers, hemp being one of the biggest wins, along with jute, sisal, flax, and kenaf. At present, there is no single product made from 100% hemp rubber, but there are plenty that is made with hemp rubber-blends.

      Rubber is a naturally grown material taken from Rubber trees. If you have a hemp made rubber product, it is reinforced with hemp instead of plastic. Because both rubber and hemp come from plants, they have similar components. This makes it to where hemp can be used to reinforce rubber.

      Scientists have already worked out how to combine hemp fiber with natural rubber to produce much more durable and more reliable products. Hemp fiber is anyway robust. And they also bring other beneficial qualities to the table. For instance, they don’t get damaged by UV lights, and they have excellent thermal conditions. And all these make hemp rubber a unique material, especially for industrial use.

      No, not really. They are making rubber with hemp composites mixed in, but they haven’t been able to make a rubber hemp material yet fully. It’s funny how whenever we think of something having to be durable, though, hemp keeps dining its way into the conversation.

      Rubber made out entirely of hemp is not yet produced; however, some companies are interested in reinforcing hemp with a new polymeric composite of natural rubber. Experiments have been made and showed that hemp fibers have a reinforcing effect on natural rubber similar to mineral fillers such as chalk, carbon black, and silica. Combining these two creates an even more durable and sturdy material.

      They can’t make full hemp rubber, but it has been used to reinforce other rubbers.

      Rubber is normally collected as a latex from the rubber tree that’s found in Northern Africa.

      Hemp doesn’t really make a comparable latex, but it has still been used as an adequate reinforcement.

      Anything that could use some natural durability, it seems like hemp finds its way there.

      As stated above, it is a relatively new process. They are considering many other plant-based materials that are similar to be used this same way. The reason being, they will degrade quicker, are inexpensive, and more readily available.

      Hard to believe, but a new polymeric composite uses hemp to reinforce natural rubber. They process it by electron beam irradiation! Talk about futuristic! Scientific researchers are working with the hemp fibers, so they have a similar reinforcing effect on the natural rubber-like mineral fillers commonly used.
