Are natural latex rubber products?

Answer:

Non rubber components contain proteins, lipids, sugars, and inorganic compounds, some of which are compounded with rubber particles, partially dissolved in whey or form non rubber particles. Natural rubber is a kind of polyisoprene as the main component of natural polymer, the molecular formula is (C5H8) n, 91%~94% in its composition is rubber hydrocarbon (polyisoprene), the protein, fatty acid, carbohydrate, ash and other non rubber substances. Natural rubber is the most widely used universal rubber.
In the fresh latex without any substance, the rubber hydrocarbon accounts for only 20%-40% of the total amount, and the remainder is a small amount of non rubber components and water.
Natural latex is a milky, flowing liquid with the appearance of milk. Natural emulsion is a biological product. Because of its differences in tree species, geology, climate and other related conditions, the composition and colloid structure of natural latex are often greatly different.
