Latex is a natural rubber material derived from the sap of rubber trees, primarily the Hevea brasiliensis. It is a versatile elastomer known for its excellent elasticity, resilience, and tensile strength. Latex is typically processed into various forms, including sheets, films, and molded products, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in different industries.
| Material | Natural rubber latex |
| Viscosity | Typically between 200 to 3000 cP |
| pH level | 4.0 to 10.0 |

| Curing agents | Sulfur or other vulcanizing agents |
When selecting latex, buyers should consider the specific application requirements such as viscosity, solid content, and pH level. It's important to specify the desired curing agents and any necessary certifications for medical or food-grade applications. Quantities may vary based on production needs, so it is advisable to discuss bulk purchasing options with suppliers.
