Ebonite is widely regarded as one of the first synthetic plastics ever developed, it was invented in 1839 by Charles Goodyear in the United States.
Although ebonite is known as a hard, dark-colored material, its primary ingredient is natural rubber. By mixing rubber with sulfur and heating it under controlled conditions, the rubber undergoes a process known as vulcanization. The resulting material has very low elasticity and becomes extremely hard and durable.
This material is known as ebonite. The name "ebonite" is derived from ebony, the dark hardwood known for its rich black appearance.
Nikko Ebonite produce the finest ebonite on the market.
