The function and characteristics of latex

Latex is relatively unfamiliar to many people. When they see it, they think it is a kind of glue. But in fact, latex is widely used in our lives. Some tools we use daily are made of latex. Latex is divided into congenital, acquired and artificial. Latex is widely used in life, mainly because it is of great help to many aspects of our lives. So what are the effects and functions of latex?

1. Latex generally refers to a colloidal emulsion formed by polymer particles dispersed in water. Also called latex. It is customary to call an aqueous dispersion of rubber particles latex, and an aqueous dispersion of resin particles emulsion. Products made with latex as raw material are called latex products, common ones include sponges, gloves, toys, hoses, etc.

2.1. Anti-mite and anti-bacteria

emulsion

According to medical reports, pillows, quilts and mattresses are breeding grounds for bacteria and dust mites, and a pillow that has been used for three years will contain 10% mold, mite feces and numerous mite corpses. According to medical data, 12% to 16% of people suffer from allergies, and 25% of these patients suffer from allergies caused by dust mites in the home. In addition, more than 90% of asthma patients suffer from insect mites in the home. This shows the extent of the harm that insect mites can cause to humans.

Because the oak protein in latex can inhibit the latent bacteria and allergens, it meets the requirements of environmental protection, can inhibit the breeding of bacteria and mites, has no static electricity, and emits a natural frankincense fragrance, which benefits people who suffer from asthma, allergic rhinitis and other respiratory system diseases.

2. Breathable

Natural latex pillows have thousands of tiny mesh-structured exhaust holes, which can dissipate the waste heat and moisture discharged from the human body, promote natural ventilation, provide a natural air-conditioning system, and keep the air in the pillow fresh and healthy.

3. Application

Mainly used for latex dipped products: (weather, festival, toy) balloons, (medical, household, industrial) gloves, goalkeeper gloves, pacifiers, condoms;

Sponge products: sponge (mattresses, pillows, shoe midsoles);

Injection molded products: latex toys, gas masks, cosmetics, footwear;

Compression molded products: latex, rubber thread, medical supplies; other applications: bonding (wool, palm, animal and plant and artificial synthetic fibers, artificial leather), flocking, non-woven fabrics, carpets, textiles, papermaking, and adhesives, etc.
