Synthetic Rubber Boosted Good News For General Tire Plant
The U S is boosting synthetic rubber output, with RFC officials saying production could rise about 20 percent or more from current plants. This could push annual output beyond 300,000 tons, though mothballed RFC plants remain unused. Higher natural rubber costs and dwindling supplies drive the plan, with synthetic costs at 18 to 44 cents per pound and July output expected around 34,000 pounds.
