Concentrated Latex | Rubblatex
Concentrated latex is a specially processed form of natural latex, created by increasing its dry rubber content to around 60%, making it a highly versatile material used in various industries. This latex is produced through the careful removal of water from the natural rubber sap, enhancing its physical properties and making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
What is Concentrated Latex?
Concentrated latex is derived from natural rubber latex by a process that typically involves centrifugation, which reduces the water content and increases the dry rubber content. This higher concentration of rubber results in improved elasticity, strength, and film-forming capabilities. With a dry rubber content of 60%, concentrated latex is suitable for products that require superior flexibility and durability.
Key Properties of Concentrated Latex:
- High Elasticity: Concentrated latex provides excellent stretch and recovery, making it perfect for products that need flexibility and resilience.
- Durability: Due to the higher rubber content, it offers enhanced durability and resistance to tearing or deformation, even in high-stress applications.
- Film-Forming Ability: It forms strong, uniform films, which are essential for products like gloves and balloons.
- Consistency and Purity: Rubblatex ensures that our concentrated latex is processed to maintain high levels of purity and consistency, essential for sensitive applications like medical and surgical goods.
Applications of Concentrated Latex:
Concentrated latex is widely used across various industries, especially where superior stretch, strength, and fine-film formation are required:
- Medical Goods: Concentrated latex is a key material in the production of medical and surgical gloves, as it provides excellent tactile sensitivity and barrier protection.
- Dipped Goods: This type of latex is perfect for making dipped items such as balloons, condoms, and surgical tubing due to its fine-film forming capabilities.
- Adhesives and Coatings: Concentrated latex is often used as a binder in adhesives and coatings, providing strong bonding properties.
- Foam Products: In the bedding and furniture industries, concentrated latex is used to manufacture latex foam, prized for its cushioning properties, resilience, and comfort.
