Rubber Wood

Rubberwood is wood derived from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) after its productive latex tapping period has ended, usually at 25–30 years of age. This wood has a light color, fine grain, and is easy to work with.The unique characteristics of rubberwood make it a highly sought-after material in the timber industry. Its pale, creamy color and fine, even grain provide a clean and elegant appearance, allowing it to be easily stained to mimic more expensive wood species. Being a fast-growing and sustainably harvested material, rubberwood transforms what would otherwise be a waste product from the latex industry into a valuable and eco-friendly resource, supporting a circular economy.

Its durability, strength, and remarkable workability make rubberwood an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. It is particularly popular in the manufacturing of furniture, cabinetry, and kitchen accessories. Furthermore, its smooth finish and resistance to warping have made it a favored material for children’s toys and flooring. The combination of its aesthetic appeal, versatility, and environmental benefits has solidified rubberwood’s position as a practical and responsible alternative to traditional hardwoods in today’s market.
