Kinds of latex
There are two concepts widespread in the industry: latex natural and latex artificial. These two materials are various by the form and properties that is caused by their structure.
Latex natural (or natural rubber) – is a material that has the juice of some tree called Gevea (a sort of evergreen trees). The basic source of natural rubber – Brazilian tree – is cultivated in the tropical countries.
The rubber in the pure state is afraid of fat, ultraviolet, it breaks from all that.
Natural latex is received from rubber by addition of inhibitor. The rubber is a basis for a large quantity of the industrial goods – elastic bandage, rugs for a bathroom, bathing hats, diving suits, glue on stamps, rubber toys, bicycle tires, syringes, a chewing gum, balloons and many other things.
Reception of the natural latex used in manufacture of mattresses and the furniture industry, has the technological features:
* From special capacity where latex mix continuously mixes up, it goes to the special container and foams.
* Foam is filled in special forms and vulcanized at temperature of 100°С.
* The received thing is taken out from the form.
* The ready block is consistently cleared of the foam rests, is dried out at temperature of 120°С, is tested for rigidity, is weighed and packed.
The maximum quantity of rubber, possible in this material, makes 85 %; optimum for use in mattress manufacture – from 45 % to 65 %, at such percentage of rubber is received the foam which possesses due elasticity, elasticity (thanks to natural rubber) and wear resistance (thanks to additives).
Properties of natural latex:
* High elasticity caused by the maintenance of natural rubber
* Excellent supporting and ergonomic properties
* Self-ventilation
* Wear resistance
* Hypoallergenicity and hygienic
* “the Silent” material (absolute absence of irritating noise when using)
Artificial Latex – the commercial name of highly elastic . In the basis of artificial latex lay mono measure, both mono measures are derivatives from petrolium. In comparison with other marks artificial latex possesses the raised elasticity. Creation of this filler – is one of the most successful attempts to approach the property of a synthetic material to the properties of a material with natural components. Artificial latex possesses good restored ability, it is more wear proof, than other kinds polyeretbane foam. The basic and, perhaps, the unique advantage of artificial latex before natural – is lower price.

Application
Artificial and natural latex is applied in spring mattresses as highly elastic filler, giving to a mattress elasticity; in the form of the monolithic block it is used in springless mattresses. In the latter case it is highly elastic mattresses with good ergonomic qualities.
Bed is one of the most important places in the house, and this must be snug as we spend there much time in our life. Those who need a place to purchase latex mattress, please go to this site. Here also is a specific type – latex plush mattress and info on how to order it.
