What is the difference between latex, artificial latex, and synthetic latex?

Latex is an umbrella term for natural, synthetic, and artificial latex.

The difference between artificial latex and synthetic latex: Artificial latex is a material refined from petroleum, and it is also very low. Synthetic latex is concentrated in a similar way to natural latex with the addition of chemicals.

Natural latex: the liquid that flows out of rubber tree tapping is milky white, in order to prevent natural latex from coagulating due to the action of microorganisms and enzymes, ammonia and other stabilizers are often added. Natural latex is mainly used to make sponge products, extruded products and impregnated products.

Synthetic latex: prepared by emulsion polymerization, such as polybutadiene latex, styrene-butadiene latex, etc. Rubber particles are first agglomerated into larger particles and then concentrated in a similar way to natural latex.

Synthetic latex is mainly used in industrial sectors such as carpets, papermaking, textiles, printing, coatings and adhesives.

Man-made latex: A non-emulsion-polymerized rubber latex. It is prepared by adding water and surfactant to the colloid generated by solution polymerization, so that the rubber particles are dispersed in the water, and then the solvent is evaporated.

One. Natural latex is taken from the sap of rubber trees and is pure natural and pollution-free. It takes more than 5 years for a rubber tree to be planted, and it must be in the early hours of the morning, after the sun comes out, it is impossible to tap the rubber, and a tree can only produce 30ml of latex sap a day, and the raw materials are very precious.

Due to the natural latex foam molded latex products, there will be countless pores themselves, with very good air permeability, and excellent elasticity, not easy to deform. Of course, natural latex products are also graded, and the direct reaction is the content of natural latex, which is more than 93% of Class A, which is the highest level and naturally expensive. For example, the latex content of Sroufei's natural latex products is 93%+, A+ grade.

Two. There are many low-cost latex products on the market, which are relatively low in natural latex, and many are synthetic latex.

The so-called synthetic latex is generally made from petroleum by-products, which is mainly mixed with natural latex to reduce the production cost of natural latex. Synthetic latex**, feel, smell, and comfort are very different from natural latex.

Because synthetic latex is a chemical product, it has a great smell, has a great impact on the body and respiratory system, does not have the original special taste of rubber, and the color is white and shiny, the service life is relatively short, and it is easy to collapse. In addition, bedding made of synthetic latex cannot absorb water, and it is easy to breed mold and dust mites after long-term use.

Strictly speaking, synthetic latex is not suitable for making bedding, mainly used for carpet papermaking, textile, printing, coatings and adhesives, etc., but due to the low cost, it is used by many businesses to make bedding, and there are relatively cheap latex pillows and latex mattresses on the market.

Three. In addition to the above two, there is also a kind of artificial latex, which is a kind of non-emulsion polymerized rubber latex, adding water and surfactant to the colloid generated by solution polymerization, so that the particles are dispersed in water, and then evaporated solvent to prepare, it is a non-emulsion polymerized rubber latex.

Artificial latex is used in much the same way as synthetic latex.

Latex is a natural material taken fromRubber treesSap, they are extremely precious, because each rubber tree can only produce 30cc of latex juice every day, and products made of latex as raw materials are called latex products, such as sponges, gloves, toys, hoses, etc.

Latex generally refers to the colloidal emulsion formed by polymer particles dispersed in water, also known as latex.

It is customary to refer to the aqueous dispersion of rubber particles as latex, and the aqueous dispersion of resin particles as emulsions.

Latex products1. Latex pillows and latex mattresses.

It can effectively promote sleep and correct poor sleeping posture.

Functionality according to ergonomics.

The principle is to provide accurate corresponding support for the different requirements of the human body curve to ensure that the weight of the human body is appropriately distributed evenly to all parts of the body, which can meet the needs of people of different weights.

2. Anti-mite and antibacterial, high-quality latex bedding, mostly foamed by Tralei high-tech method, without any artificial chemical products, in the case of overheating or combustion, it will not produce toxic substances, and after the rubber milk is cooked, it will release an oak protein, which can effectively inhibit germs and allergens. Lurk.

<>1. There is a difference in color between artificial latex and natural latex. The color of natural latex is mostly milky white or a little yellowish, while the color of artificial latex is dark white. After a period of use, natural latex will turn yellow, which is normal, while artificial latex will not, and it will be very white after washing.

2. Artificial latex and natural latex are different in smell. Natural latex has a faint natural resin flavor and some milk-like taste, but artificial latex does not.

Synthetic latex is made of petroleum or waste tires after processing, the smell is very big, many businesses will add some flavor, so that it has a milky taste, and the synthetic latex pillow basically looks white, and the surface is smooth, it looks very beautiful.

This is not the case with natural latex pillows, where natural latex is cut directly from rubber trees, and then reached the latex level after strict classification of latex grades, which is used to produce products that come into contact with human skin. The taste of natural latex will have the taste of natural rubber, and there are color differences, irregular cracks, pores and uneven burrs are important bases for identifying natural latex pillows. At present, there are many latex pillow brands on the market, many cheap ones are artificial synthetic latex pillows, and the real natural latex pillows are made of natural latex after rubber tree tapping, which is certainly not cheap.
