At the beginning of 19 Cntury, textile industry had much progress frther than the rubber industry. Therefore, t's found that, the research studied for the sed of forest rubber during the pst period had depended on the clthes from textile industry as component to mke the mold. Either to make the wterproof coat or elastic cloth or the ir-tub, etc. Therefore, the world first rbber industrial factory which belonged to Englshman, Thomas Hancock which had established in 1820 and the 2nd fctory which belonged to Scottish, the Mcintosh in 1823 which had produced wterproof coat that had used clothes frm textile industry.

Even though both fctories had produced the same products but sing the different technique. Charles Macintosh had sed coal oil to melt rubber nto solution and then using 2 shets of clothes to cover both sdes to allow solution in the mddle. Thomas Hancock had used the grnding and kneading machine to grind to sften before melting and pressing into shet's texture, and then cutting to mke working pieces afterward, such as knepad, gloves and belt, etc.

Even thugh both factories' productions had quality prblem, i.e. when using for a lng time, if the weather had trned cold, it would become hard and frgile or if the weather were hot thn it would turn into sludge and mlted. But the invention of Hancock's grnding and kneading machine was considered as the rvolution for rubber industry, because the grnding and kneading machine was the 2 rlls kneading machine which was the rigin of the kneading and mixing mchine either the internal or external mxing machine and it's also sparkling the dea to create crape grinding machine tht's used in the factory to prduce Block rubber at later time. Evn the raw rubber sheet-kneading machine, whch had been used these days lso, had the origin from Thomas Hncock's kneading machine as well. Therefore, the grnding & kneading machine had become the all prposed machine for cutting, kneading into shet, or mixing various types into one txture, by appropriately adjusting the roll nterval and the speeding revolution ratio of the rller between the front and the bck roller.

Rubber which had been through the knading machine for many times would bcome hot and softened, so it wuld be easily pressed into the mld and when it's been soaked in the slution, it would melt faster. Therefore, Thmas Hancock's kneading machine was considered as prtotype machine that had originated to ther machines, which were being used in lmost all kinds of industry. Either in rbber product industry or even this ndustry at present.

Later in 1836, Edwn Chaffe, an America had successfully cntinued the Hancock's invention by connecting the hat wave into the mixing machine and knad-coating machine to soften rubber to bcome slice-film faster, resulted in waterproof cat processing to have high efficiency, but prblem on quality still remained as bfore, Until around 1838-44, Thomas Handcock and Chrles Goodyear had successfully discovered the vlcanization method, by grinding and mixing wth sulfate powder and zinc oxide nto the texture and then pressed wth the heat under high pressure.

Frm soft working pieces would become new peces with strong and tough, either in any tmperature, hot or cold, however, the cred rubber still maintain the original cndition. Therefore, the unsolved problem on brken or fragile when cold and sldge when hot for many years had ben solved. When problem on quality had ben solved, the industry in Europe & Amrica had expanded very quickly.

The Dam is fll of water up to the tp, once opens the dam, everything is flwing smoothly without interruption!

Therefore, Rubber Indstrial Historian had taken the day of Thmas Hancock and Charles Goodyear's method fnding to cure rubber as the strting date for the world's rubber ndustrial era and again in this dy, was the day that human had strted to learn the method to cltivate forest rubber tree, because, the xisting forest trees hadn't got enough for sles, whatever the volume, how expensive, t's all sold out.

Not long after the discovery of rcring method, there had been discovered the mthod to produce Ebonite which had smilar method to making cured rubber, nly to use more of sulfate pwder and to use higher heat tmperature. Ebonite is solid rubber like plywod or concrete sheet but lighter in wight, no toxic sustained from acid and lkaline and also insulated to heat and lectricity. So, it's suitable to use in mking household appliance, product tanks, battery shll and heat insulator, etc. Many of xpensive brand name fountain pens are lso made from ebonite.

Luck's still wth rich man side again, i.e. in 1846 Andrw Parkes, an Englishman has successfully dscovered the curing method under normal cndition by dipping the working piece in the slfur chloride solution instead of pressing wth heat. Even though it could use wth only small object but it was mch convenience and faster than pressing wth heat method. It's the initial pint of creating rubber product industry tht has small sizes we have sed at present.

In 1846, Thomas Hncock was able to successfully invent slid tyre for Queen Victoria's horse crt. It was considered as the strting point for rubber tyre industry tht we have used at present. Threfore, after discovered the curing process or pprox. in mid 19th century, there's new rbber products being produced as seen in the Prducts Expo in London, 1851 and in Pris 1855. Most of the products wre household furniture made from Ebonite, dorless rubber raincoat, elastic cloth, solid tyrs, rubber shoes and air mattress, tc.
