Natural Rubber Latex Concentrate

Latex Concentrate (HA) Type: Natural rubber latex concentrate (HA) is a high-ammonia, centrifuged concentrate derived from the sap of Hevea brasiliensis trees. This general-purpose latex is used in a variety of products. Application: HA latex is the most commonly used concentrate, valued for its single preservative, ammonia, which is volatile. This makes it suitable for food and medical applications. Widely utilized in dipped products including medical and industrial gloves, balloons, condoms, catheters, finger cots, and tubing. Also used as an adhesive in the production of footballs, bandages, wood lamination, and for binding various materials. Provides excellent films with high clarity and superior adhesion characteristics. Storage: Store under shelter at temperatures between 10�°C and 35�°C. Creaming may occur during storage; therefore, it is essential to stir the latex thoroughly before use. As the product is based on natural rubber latex, changes in colloidal properties may occur over time.
