Why Choose Synthetic Latex?
Understanding the distinction between natural latex and synthetic latex products is essential in adhesive toll manufacturing. Natural latex, derived from rubber trees, contains cis-1, 4-polyisoprene, while synthetic latex is made from synthetic polymer emulsions. In the U.S., products with natural rubber latex must have a warning due to potential allergic reactions.
Safety and Compliance
Hospitals and medical facilities avoid natural latex due to allergy concerns, making synthetic latex the preferred choice for medical devices and packaging.
Liability Reduction
U.S. manufacturers often choose synthetic latex to mitigate liability associated with latex allergies, even in non-medical products.
Transparency
Valpac clearly differentiates between fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and natural latex products, providing latex-free statements upon request.
Choosing synthetic latex offers a safer, more compliant option for a wide range of applications, particularly where latex allergies are a concern.
