In 1839, Goodyear was at the Eagle India Rubber Company in Woburn, Massachusetts, where he discovered that combining rubber and sulfur over a hot stove caused the rubber to become rigid, a process which he called vulcanization because of the heat involved. [9]
Charles Goodyear (born Dec. 29, 1800, New Haven, Conn., U.S.—died July 1, 1860, New York City) was an American inventor of the vulcanization process that made possible the commercial use of rubber. Goodyear began his career as a partner in his father’s hardware business, which went bankrupt in 1830.

Born in 1800 in New Haven and raised in Naugatuck, Goodyear was 33 years old when he decided to venture into rubber products in the 1830s after his father’s New Haven hardware business went bankrupt. At that time, rubber appeared to be a “miracle material.” The gooey, milky sap, bled from trees in Brazil, was waterproof and easy to stretch. Called ...
During the next five years, Goodyear became obsessed with rubber. He put his family in debt to finance experiments to make the material suitable for industrial use. He moved several times—to New York, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, and Connecticut. In short, he went anywhere he could find investors and places to conduct his experiments. Goodyear mixe...
It would take Goodyear several more years to recreate the chemical formula and perfect the process of mixing sulfur and rubber at a high temperature; he patented the process in 1844, the year after establishing the Naugatuck India-Rubber Company in Naugatuck. Goodyear named his discovery vulcanization, after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. He licens...
Charles Goodyear. In 1843, Charles Goodyear discovered that if you removed the sulfur from rubber then heated it, it would retain its elasticity. This process called vulcanization made rubber waterproof and winter-proof and opened the door for an enormous market for rubber goods.
Charles Goodyear (1800-1860) discovered a process for curing rubber, which transformed this remarkable but flawed natural substance from a curiosity fit for museums into the first of the modern plastics.
Vulcanization, chemical process by which the physical properties of natural or synthetic rubber are improved; finished rubber has higher tensile strength and resistance to swelling and abrasion, and is elastic over a greater range of temperatures. It was discovered in 1839 by Charles Goodyear.
