Sponge products, latex sponge has good cushioning, shock-proof performance and compression fatigue resistance. It was once one of the four main products in the latex industry. With the wide application of relatively inexpensive polyurethane foam as elastic cushioning and plasticized porous polyurethane, the expensive latex sponge has gradually lost its market competitiveness. In recent years, with people’s concern for health and environmental protection, due to the excellent properties of latex sponges, latex sponges have seen a new momentum of development in some high-end furniture and household products. At present, the amount of natural latex consumed by latex sponges is not large. The annual consumption of natural rubber latex is less than 10,000 tons.

Extruded products, latex extruded products are made by using a certain pressure (static pressure or a little pressure) to make the latex extruded through the required cross-sectional orifice, formed into a solid or hollow semi-finished product, and then processed into a semi-finished product. Latex products. The latex products produced by this method mainly include latex wires and hoses, as well as a small number of products with special cross-sectional structures.

Latex wire has the characteristics of smooth surface, uniform thickness, good elasticity and high strength. It is an elastic material widely used in textiles, clothing and sports culture, such as wide and tight belts for clothing and socks, sports equipment, buffer ropes, etc.

Due to its simple processing technology and the characteristics that it can be made into any length, latex wire became the main product of many latex products enterprises in the 1970s. However, because latex filaments are basically pure rubber products, the cost is relatively high. When the slitting equipment and technology of dry glue glue filament are further improved, it will be gradually replaced by dry glue glue filament.

The hose is also a typical latex extrusion product. The principle of using the extrusion method to produce the hose is to use the heat-sensitive agent in the latex to gel the latex at a higher temperature to be extruded and molded. The latex tube is hygienic and non-toxic. The tube body is soft, the inner and outer walls are smooth, it is easy to clean, the fluid flow is unobstructed, and it is resistant to cooking. Therefore, the natural rubber latex tube was once an ideal medical equipment and is widely used in medical places such as blood transfusion and infusion. . With the development of disposable plastic infusion sets, the application of latex tubes in this area has been completely replaced. The hose is currently only used for general catheters, fitness hoses, medical tourniquets, etc.
