LA 60% DRC
Thai Origin Low Ammonia Natural Rubber Latex
Low Ammonia Natural Rubber Latex, derived from the sap of the rubber tree, is processed with a lower concentration of ammonia. This modification results in a latex that is more fluid and less viscous, maintaining more of the rubber's natural properties. The reduced ammonia content also minimizes odor and environmental impact while enhancing the latex's elasticity and resilience.
Benefits & Features of Low Ammonia Natural Rubber Latex:
- Enhanced Fluidity: Less viscous for ease of processing, suitable for delicate applications.
- Superior Elasticity: Offers excellent elasticity, crucial for products requiring flexibility and stretch.
- Increased Comfort: The natural softness of this latex makes it ideal for products that prioritize user comfort.
Applications of Low Ammonia Natural Rubber Latex:
- Latex Foam Products: Used extensively in the manufacturing of latex foams for mattresses and pillows, providing optimal comfort and support.
- Latex Threads: Vital for the production of latex threads in the textile industry, enhancing fabric quality with superior stretch and resilience.
- Protective Clothing: Employed in crafting components of protective clothing where flexibility and user comfort are essential.
