ABOUT THE COURSE.
 
Rubber Technology has found its applications as laminated rubber bearings for bridges, tyres, conveyor systems, insulator in electrical industry, tyres and tubes in automobile and aviation sector, rubberized highways, footwear industry, sports equipment, etc. Through the study of rubber technology, one can acquire knowledge about the main types of commercially available rubber, the role of essential ingredients in converting raw rubber into useful articles, general techniques for mixing and shaping raw rubbers, basic practical skills in mixing, shaping and testing of rubbers and most important of all, one would understand the way in which rubbers perish in general environments.

Rubber is selected by the Engineer for its flexibility, elasticity and impermeability to gases and liquids. It is used to isolate equipment against shock and vibration, as a seal for anything from a watch to a container door, as a diaphragm to separate two fluids and transmit pressure differences, for drive rollers on business machines, for paper making machinery, and so on. With the advances in rubber technology a host of synthetic rubber products like Neoprene rubber were developed. The Major applications of rubber is used as transmission and conveyor beltings in mining industry. Rubber hoses are used for carrying fluids and solids under a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Rubber is one of the main essential engineering materials used in industry and daily life. Other applications are footwear, cellular and other products, sports goods and electrical insulating materials, etc.
 
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
 
Polymer Technologists and Rubber Technologists have placement opportunities in multinational and national companies like Du Pont, Reliance Industries, MRF, Apollo Tyres, Dunlop and a host of other companies with global market reach. The future of Polymer and Rubber industries is bright and job market is highly remunerative for qualified technologists. There is ample scope for higher education leading to Masters and Ph.D. levels in India and Abroad.

Polymer and Rubber Products are one of the main interest of aspiring entrepreneurs who are interested in setting up their own industries for manufacturing plastic articles like telephone instruments, soap dishes, plastic buckets, combs, pvc pipes, computer peripherals, dinner wares and related articles, ballons, softballs, chappals, cycle tyres and tubes, automobile tyres, etc.

The courses provide an extensive knowledge on application of Polymers and Rubber and various ways and means of manufacturing and fabrication of related articles.
