I don't know much about it but it is produced in a lab as opposed to natural rubber which is harvested from a tree. For this reason, it is free of impurities such as dirt and debris that would naturally collect in the tree based rubber. Synthetic Rubber is made from bunch of different petroleum monomers, higher end monomers equals higher end rubber. Such rubber is usually superior to natural rubber in most areas including things like thermal retention. Because of it its increased capabilities and the ability to be produced relatively wherever and whenevet , synthetic rubber is hugely popular making around 2/3 the annual global yield.
