Low Ammonia Latex Concentrate (LA Latex)

Description

Low Ammonia Latex Concentrate (LA Latex)

LA Latex Concentrate (LATZ) is obtained by centrifugation and preserved with a low amount of ammonia and other preservatives. It contains 60% Dry Rubber Content (DRC). LA Latex can replace HA Latex in all normal latex applications, with a little adjustment in compounding in certain cases. It is more commonly used in cold climates and whenever lower levels of ammonia content are preferred such as in enclosed spaces. It is a general purpose latex widely used in many latex applications such as foams, dipping, castings and adhesive bindings. After compounding, it has a wide application especially in dipped products such as gloves, foam mattresses, reconstituted or reclaimed leather, balloons, shoe soles, mats, etc. It is also used as an adhesive for casting onto a backing substrate, such as for wood laminate and carpet, and for binding different types of materials.

Packing
1 Metal Drum (non-returnable; internal-lined) = 205 kg
1 Container, 20-ft FCL (80 Metal Drums) = 16.4 MT
1 Flexi Bag per container, 20-ft FCL = 20 MT
1 ISO tank (returnable) per container, 20-ft FCL = 20 MT

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.
