1) It is useful over a wide temperature ranges.Resists burning better and doesn't stiffens a lot at low temperatures.
2) It performs well in contact with oils and chemicals. Highly resistant to organic and inorganic chemicals including animal fats, oils, some solvents, cleaning agents, gasoline, and chlorox. (excluding acetates,hydrogen peroxide & aniline)

∙ 14y agoNeoprene is more allergic then latex as it has a very dense powdery substance in which can cause dust allergy. These gloves are pretty popular in more industrial companies.

What purpose of ammonium sulfate at latex Ammonium sulfate added in latex will make latex dry faster than ammonium free latex?
Ammonium sulphate is an inorganic salt. When we add to latex, it will dissociate to ammonium ions. By itself, ammonium ion will increase ionic strength in latex. It makes latex destabilise easily. However, if there are zinc oxide and ammonia in the system, then there will be another action of zinc ammine complexes happen. This action will destabilize latex more easily. In this destabilised action, the latex will gel or "dry" faster. This is the normal system for making latex products like mask or latex carpet underlay.See the Web Links to the left for more information.From PatentStorm.us:Since the severe allergic reactions to latex are due to their naturally occurring proteins, the prior art offers little in the way of solutions. For example, "hypoallergenic" latex products are free from the vulcanization accelerator compounds that can cause dermatitis, but do not prevent immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Likewise, ammonia treatment of the natural rubber latex proteins can cause breakdown and precipitation of some latex proteins, but the allergenicity appears to be preserved and other antigenic latex proteins are unextractable. In short, the literature recommends that the only treatment available for latex allergy is avoidance.
Gasket materials for 98 percent sulfuric acid?
Gaskets are normally made from a flat material, a sheet such as paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, polytetrafluoroethylene (otherwise known as PTFE or Teflon) or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene).

What is the chemical formula for rubber?
The chemical formula for natural rubber is (CH2CHC(CH3)CH2)n this is a polymer often call cis-polyisoprene. Structurally each unit in the polymer contains a double bond. This makes the rubber reactive as it is an unsaturated polymeric hydrocarbon. Rubber as met in everyday life is a complex mixture of polymeric substances which may include natural rubber in the manufacturing process. Rubber based on natural rubber is generally vulcanised with sulfur or sulfur compounds to join the chains together by sulfur cross links. Many additives are included to change the characteristics of the rubber product, these include fillers such as carbon black, or plasticisers. Artificial rubbers include neoprene, polychloroprene.
What happens when rubber is super cool?
I'm not sure, but I think when rubber is super cooled, it becomes more solidified. Thus, you are able to break off pieces of it and the rubber loses it elasticity. what they trying to say is it will SHATTER LIKE GLASS
What is stress induced crystallization in rubber?
If we flop around we may be able to arrive at an answer. It's kinda like taking a soccer ball upfield; we wind our way around defenders and arrive at a place where we can put the ball in the net. Let's see if we can. Rubber is elastic. This amazing material is produced in a wide range "types" having broad differences in their mechanical properties. In general, when we stretch or compress rubber, it will return to its shape when we're done. The tiniest failures of its structure do occur, and they build up in time, but, in general, the rubber returns to its previous state. Unless we overload it. When we apply stress to rubber, its molecules change dimension. Some may be permanently deformed or "broken" by this action. The more severe the load (stress) on rubber, the more permanent "microfailures" occur within its structure. As the number of "bad" areas increases, the rubber weakens in the region, and things get worse more quickly as it cannot flex (deform) as well as it used to. The rubber so affected is sometimes referred to as having undergone crystallization. That rubber has undergone stress induced crystallization.
Where is latex rubber produced?
Latex rubber is produced by extracting Latex from plants. You can learn more about Latex Rubber online from the Wikipedia. once on the page, type "Latex" into the search box and press enter to bring up the information.
What is the difference between sponge and foam rubber?
The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but foam rubber is often used for rubbers that start off as liquids (e.g., latex, liquid urethanes) and sponge rubber is often used more for solid rubbers (e.g., EPDM, Nitrile (NBR), neoprene).
Is there a such thing as hypoallergenic condoms?
There are 3 popular kinds of hypoallergenic, non-latex condoms. These are Lamb-skin, Polyurethane, and the fairly new Polyisoprene. You can find more information here at the related link.
What was foam rubber first made out of?
Foam rubber was originally made out of latex. More recently another form of foam rubber made out of polyurethane is also used alongside the latex form and sold commercially.
What variety of rubber trees that yields much more latex?
You mean Jimmers?
Is there any latex in polyethylene?
Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer made from hydrocarbons got fro oil. Latex is a natural coagulated tree sap made from the Rubber tree Latex is much more elastic than polyethylene and both degrade in sunlight UV
What is a more common name in this country for an item originally called an India rubber?
latex
What is pliatex rubber made of?
Pliatex is a pre-vulcanised natural rubber latex. Latex comes from the sap of the rubber tree (Hevea) that has been cleaned and concentrated and then put into a stabilising solution (water + ammonia) to prevent coagulation and microbial development. Natural rubber itself is composed of latex proteins. To enhance the characteristic of the natural latex, vulcanising agents are added, usually sulfur based chemicals. The mix is then heated. This process helps the proteins to form di-sulfur bridges that bind latex proteins to each other. This makes the latex more resistant.
How do synthetic and natural rubber differ?
Natural latex is made from 100% natural rubber. Talalay latex is a type of latex that combines natural and synthetic latex usually 70% natural latex and 30% synthetic rubber made from raw materials derived from oil based products.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic rubber?
There are so many advantages of rubber. Some of them include manufacture of footwear, it is used to make latex, rubber can be used as an insulator and so much more.
Where to get latex gloves?
'Latex gloves' is a rather generic term that is typically used to describe natural rubber latex, single use or disposable gloves typically associated with medical or hygiene applications. Lately latex gloves are becoming popular for many more applications. Strictly speaking, nitrile gloves which are made from a synthetic latex are also 'latex gloves' but these are free of the natural rubber latex proteins that cause allergic reactions in some users. Latex gloves are also available in thicker or heavier gauge latex for industrial applications.See related link
