We're taken into a few different chambers where the different process of making the rubbers. One of the chambers are filled with ammonia, NH3, a substances I really hate to smell it. Duh.... most of us hate the smell as well for it's infamous properties irritating smell. I'm feeling a little dizzy even after stepping out of the chamber. The ammonia is used to remove the rubber from the machine, something like that.

Different types of rubbers, plain, textured, coloured, etc.
