Meet the Demand for Latex-Safe Products with Vytex™ Natural Rubber Latex (NRL)

Over the past two decades demand has grown dramatically for products manufactured with a natural rubber latex that does not cause allergic reactions.

Despite the introduction of synthetic substitutes and attempts to leach natural rubber latex to rid it of these antigenic proteins, until now there has been no product with the positive properties of natural rubber latex but without the allergy problem.

Vytex NRL changes all that. This revolutionary new natural rubber latex can be used in manufacturing wherever traditional natural rubber latex or synthetics are being used today.

Vytex NRL retains all the positive characteristics of natural rubber latex. In fact, results using the Modified Lowry test, today's most commonly used test for detecting total proteins, show levels in Vytex NRL to be "undetectable". The ELISA tests, 150 times more definitive than the Modified Lowry test, measures the level of antigenic proteins in products made from Vytex NRL at less than 0.2 micrograms per gram. This is dramatically lower than the 50 micrograms per gram that currently is considered the standard for low allergen natural rubber latex or a latex-safe environment.

By using Vytex NRL, manufacturers in all industries can easily integrate a new, low antigenic protein natural rubber latex into their production without compromising the positive characteristics of natural rubber latex.

To help end users recognize products produced with Vytex NRL, Vystar has created branding elements such as the manufactured with "Vytex™ NRL. Created by Nature. Recreated by Science." mark that manufacturers can include on product packaging. By including this mark, manufacturers who use Vytex NRL in their products will be able to leverage the Vytex NRL name to enhance sales and reach out to expanded markets. Your reach will be further enhanced by Vystar's own marketing efforts to key end-users, organizations of influence and consumers to drive home the Vytex NRL message and user demand for our manufacturers.
