Abstract : Natural rubber is one of the important material in the manufacturing industry with applications varying from footwear to an aircraft industries. An investigation was conducted on the nature of material so as to increase its effectiveness in its function in cleaning off water, dust and other impediments of the windscreen of automobiles. A research has been conducted on various compositions of rubber by adding various fillers to improve the properties. The main objective of this work is to enhance the mechanical properties of the natural rubber used in the windshield wiper blade using Carbon black (N550) in two different compositions. Abrasion test, hardness test, tensile and tear tests were conducted on the specimen.
