Pure natural latex which is acquired through a Dunlop method of vulcanization, is free of petroleum-based ingredients, harsh chemicals or pesticides. The Dunlop method of vulcanization is an original direct process of converting rubber tree sap into a solid form. This method involves, first whipping the latex liquid with air to make foam, then pouring the latex liquid into a mold and heating it till it vulcanizes.
Natural Latex produced through a Dunlop method of vulcanization uses the following ingredients :
90-95% of natural rubber
2-3 % Zinc Oxide
1-2 % fatty acids and soaps
1-2 % Sulphur and 1-2% Sodium
The manufacturing process is completed with latex rubber being rinsed several times. This ensures that the final latex rubber product carries zero residues- soap and otherwise.
It is then molded into different shapes, sizes and predetermined degrees of firmness. The durability, flexibility, resilience and hygienic properties of natural rubber make it a multi purpose source.
