nonbonding jerked-rubber (or Caotchouc) from the sack

[If I had the whole sentence, unless this is a title, I'd probably be able to be more precise.]

When a viscoelastic material is treated so that it starts to deform - during vulcanization - it is 'jerked' (pulled fast and hard), and it will retrun to a more rubbery state.

ballotare v.tr. (sballotare) to toss; to jerk
[source La Biblioteca di Republica's l'Enciclopedia Dizionario di Italian-Inglese]

[in vulcanization work, 'jerk' not 'toss' is used]

jerk n. 1. a quick, sharp, sudden movement 2. v. move or raise with a jerk
[source OED]

This is a property of some non-Newtonian liquids/plasmas.

I translated 'sacco' as 'sack' but usually this is done in a vat (recipiente ampio)

The syntax could be changed to:

nonbonding rubber jerked from the sack - depending on the somplete phrase.

Typos

"...and it will retrun to a more rubbery state." - should be 'return'

"depending on the somplete phrase." - should be 'complete'

Preposition da

The preposition da really has me thinking. Based on context, it could be:

1. ...from the sack;
2. ...at the sack; or
3. ...by the sack.

I obviously went with the more common 'from'.
Example sentence:

The rubber is then bonded and vulcanized to the sample in a mold. ... Some operators pull steadily, others will <b>jerk</b> at the material, and still others will ...[web source]

Peer comment(s):

agree Colin Ryan (X) : Congrats on typing 'jerk' and 'toss' with a straight face.
