| Four D Rubber Company was set up in 1964 to develop a proprietary process for the continuous casting of latex sheeting. The company was bought out in 1998 and under new ownership has had substantial additional investment in capacity and ancilliary processes. The company is located in Heanor, Derbyshire and is well connected to the motorway network for logistics purposes. |

| Pre-vulcanised liquid latex from Malaysia and Thailand is bought in, mixed in to batches and then run in a process similar to extrusion. Sheeting from 0.15mm to 3mm is available in widths up to 4 meter wide. |

| Four D Rubber Co Ltd is fully committed to customer satisfaction and technical development. Extensive knowledge of the numerous and varied applications and markets is just part of Four D Rubbers contribution. The company has a strong export market selling extensively into Europe and the rest of the world. |

| How is Latex Rubber Made? |
| |
| Latex Rubber is a natural product produced from the rubber tree Hevea Brasiliensis. The liquid rubber is obtained by tapping the tree over a period of several years, a process which does not harm the tree. The resulting product is a natural material with outstanding strength and unique elastic properties. The material is environmentally friendly in that it bio-degrades completely, and the plantations used are completely renewable. |
