Natural rubber is the stuff from which latex is made. Already well known as the basic material for all kinds of clothing (one also naturally thinks of its proven record as a contraceptive), latex rubber is also well used in the production of accessories or for temporary decorations in all the colours. Applications: As a natural material with almost no additives, latex is on the one hand a very agreeable product while on the other it is not as durable as synthetic and mostly vulcanised rubber. It reacts negatively to UV radiation (sunlight) and cleaning agents or oil. Only warm water – i.e. NO cleaning agents - should be utilized when cleaning latex. Adding some TALCUM POWDER inhibits the latex from sticking together. Latex must be stored away from light (the translucent as well as the lighter types are especially prone to yellowing and to becoming brittle) and should not come into contact with copper or copper alloys as well as oils, fats or cleaning agents. Treatment: Latex can best be cut using a ROTARY CUTTER. This material can be sewn (with newspaper as intermediate layer) but it should subsequently also be glued because the thin rubber will tend to rip along the seams. The gluing should be done using rubber glue much in the same way as it is used to patch bicycle tire tubes (z.B. TIP TOP). Cyanoacrylate adhesive (e.g. SUPER GLUE) produces good results while PATTEX only moderately good ones. Before gluing, the latex must definitely be washed in warm water because the silicone coating which forms during the production process simply rejects any gluing.
