Production / The Story of Ebonite.

Charles Goodyear He mixed rubber, sulfur, and oil to make waterproof soles for his children's shoes. While the mixture was in the oven, Goodyear fell asleep and was awakened only by an explosion. Because of the exothermic reaction, he found his mixture to be black and hard.

In doing so, he discovered a completely new material that is resistant to salt water, acids, and alkalis; is not electrically conductive; is unbreakable; and is easy to work with.

After some time spent on research and development, he founded his tire factory.

From the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, ebonite was used for countless applications related, including, among other things:

Light switches, electrical outlets, battery cases, bowling balls, chair and sofa backs, canes, batons, radio casings, wall paneling, chess pieces, piano keys….

With the discovery of the more affordable plastic, knowledge of ebonite fell into oblivion.

We have recognized the potential of this beautiful natural material We have rediscovered it and are dedicated to its development and dissemination.

Natural rubber is the main component of our high-quality ebonite. It is extracted from the rubber tree.

The tree's bark is cut in a spiral pattern to a depth of a few millimeters. This process does not harm the tree. The liquid rubber drips from the incisions into collection containers, is then washed in a complex process, rolled out into sheets, and dried.

We use only the The highest-quality natural rubber, Crepe No. 1.
