Natural Rubber Latex

1. Product Overview

Natural Rubber Latex is a high-performance, naturally derived elastomeric material harvested from rubber trees and processed for industrial and manufacturing applications. It is widely used in the production of gloves, medical products, adhesives, dipped goods, foam products, and flexible rubber components. Its excellent elasticity, tensile strength, resilience, and film-forming properties provide manufacturers with reliable performance and efficient processing. As a strategically important renewable raw material, Natural Rubber Latex supports high-volume industries seeking consistent quality, performance, and scalable global supply.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material: Natural rubber latex derived from Hevea brasiliensis rubber trees.
• Composition: Predominantly cis-1,4-polyisoprene dispersed in a water-based latex system, with stabilizers and other processing additives depending on grade.
• Grade: Industrial, concentrated latex; specification available according to buyer requirements.
• Total Solids Content (TSC): Typically approximately 60% minimum for concentrated grades.
• Dry Rubber Content (DRC): Commonly around 60% minimum, subject to agreed specification.
• Appearance: Smooth, homogeneous milky-white to cream-colored liquid.
• Physical Properties: High elasticity, resilience, tensile strength, tear resistance, and film-forming capability.
• Packaging Options: Bulk tankers, ISO tanks, drums, IBC containers, or other export packaging subject to order requirements.
• Shelf Life: Typically several months when stored under recommended controlled conditions; exact shelf life depends on grade and stabilization system.
• Documentation: Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), technical specifications, and relevant export documentation available upon request.
