   Rubber Technology is a specialized field of science that comprises the study of transformation of rubbers or elastomers into useful products. The Rubber Technology department has recorded consistent improvement in its academic, research and placement performance. The Department seeks to combine excellence in education with service to the industry. Our vision is to achieve global standards in quality of Education, Research & Developments, Training in rubber technology and to empower the students to be leader in rubber technology. Our goal is to provide students with a balance of intellectual and practical experiences that enable them to serve a variety of societal needs. In our department students are nurtured to become best rubber technologist as we hold firm belief in our ability to succeed, and we bring up an attitude of self-reliance, confidence, commitment and responsibility to the motherland that we are to serve. We are having hard-working students, young and dynamic faculties, whose expertise spans the range of disciplines in rubber technology stream and a very healthy work-culture, are the basic elements that comprise the Department of Rubber Technology at L. D. College of Engineering. The Department believes in building career, enriching minds and provides a remarkable experience that lasts a life time.

   The field of Rubber Technology focuses on the processing of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, processing of latex and so on. It provides Rubber Technology students with a diversified background that includes advanced coursework in the mixing and testing of rubber compounds for industry standards, the processing of rubber compounds into finished products that meet customer requirements, product and mould design and materials selection and properties.

   The tremendously mounting use of automobiles enhanced the use of rubber in industries and has made rubber technology a lucrative career option. The rubber industry in India has much scope and growth is still being made in its paraphernalia. Not only in India but countries abroad as well are in dire need of experts in this field.

   I am confident that the students of the department would justify the credibility of the department by showing a high level of professional competence in their respective filed.
