The difference between rubber and latex

Features of natural latex:

Latex is molded by evaporation. It has countless pores and has good air permeability. Because the surface of the pores is smooth, mites and other insects cannot be attached. Moreover, latex juice has a very important characteristic that it emits fragrance. Many other mosquitoes are Don't want to come close. Therefore determines the characteristics of latex.

1. Ultra-high elasticity

2. Orthopedic function

3. Super breathability

4. Durable and not easy to deform

5. Anti-mildew and antibacterial

6. Ultra-quiet, no static electricity and radiation

Rubber performance:

1. Outstanding high elasticity, manifested by high elongation. It is elastic at room temperature, can produce large deformation under a small external force, and can return to its original state after removing the external force. Rubber is a completely amorphous polymer, its glass transition temperature (T g) is low, and the molecular weight is often large, more than several hundred thousand. Pure natural rubber can be stretched continuously to 800% of its original length; with a smaller elastic modulus, the stress generated when stretched at 100% is only a few hundred Newtons per square centimeter; it maintains a small permanent deformation after breaking, That is, the amount of accumulation that cannot be recovered after repeated stress is also extremely small. Only after cross-linking can rubber become a valuable and highly elastic material, commonly known as rubber.

2. Good wear resistance, high friction coefficient, and acid and alkali corrosion resistance. Some varieties such as nitrile rubber and fluoro rubber are also oil resistant. In addition, rubber also has the characteristics of electrical insulation, vibration absorption, and airtightness. Disadvantages are poor heat conduction, heat resistance, and difficult machining.

The difference between latex and rubber

Rubber is the basic raw material of the rubber industry and is widely used in the manufacture of tires, hoses, tapes, cables, and various other rubber products. It is equivalent to metal, chemical fiber, and plastic as an important material.

Common latex products: pillows, mattresses, gloves, pacifiers, hoses, etc.

Common rubber products: tires, basketballs, table tennis rackets, etc.
