Vytex™ Natural Rubber Latex (NRL)
Thousands of Possibilities

With more than 40,000 products containing natural rubber latex, potential applications for Vytex NRL are enormous.

In today's health care arena, there's a critical demand for latex-safe products, as indicated by a guidance statement issued The Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN) where many latex products are used in our nation's 5,747 hospitals alone.

Annually, over 14 billion natural rubber latex condoms are sold globally, representing just 4% of the total global usage of natural rubber latex. Elastic threads used in textiles, natural rubber latex bedding, cold seal and pressure sensitive adhesives and balloons are just a few of the additional product categories that are potential products made with Vytex NRL.
