Latex

Latex, a natural material derived from the sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), serves as a versatile and sustainable resource with diverse applications across industries. Known for its elasticity, durability, and biodegradability, latex finds widespread use in various products. Field latex is the source of concentrated latex, which has about 60% dry rubber content. Products are categorized based on process demands and the amount of ammonia required.

Concentrated latex is used as an input to make a wide range of goods, such as adhesives, gloves, condoms, and infant pacifiers.
