Seringueira (Hevea brasiliensis) é uma árvore nativa da Amazônia, conhecida por produzir o látex, uma seiva leitosa usada para fabricar borracha natural. O látex é extraído do caule por meio de um processo chamado sangria, e a borracha é utilizada em produtos como pneus, luvas e materiais cirúrgicos. A madeira da seringueira é leve e branca, e suas sementes são ricas em óleo, servindo como matéria-prima para resinas e tintas. 🎥: @criatorioformoso | Vida no Campo

Natural rubber is extracted from the Hevea brasiliensis tree, commonly known as the rubber tree. The process involves tapping the tree’s bark to collect latex, a milky fluid that is later processed into rubber. This natural rubber is widely used in manufacturing tires, gloves, footwear, industrial products, and medical equipment due to its elasticity and durability. The major rubber-producing regions are in Southeast Asia, with Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Vietnam being the leading
