Latex is generally divided into two main types: Raw latex and Compound latex.
1. Raw latex: Raw latex is a natural substance extracted from the latex tree. This type of latex has characteristics such as elasticity, air stability, flexibility, colorability, and shapeability. Raw latex is used as the main material in the production of latex balloons and other latex products.
2. Compound latex: Compound latex, also known as compounded latex, contains various additives that are added to raw latex. Additives can include polymers, powders, colors, and other substances. Compound latex achieves more properties compared to raw latex, such as higher resistance to external factors, high elasticity, air stability, colorability, and shapeability.
Overall, both types of latex (raw latex and compound latex) are used in the balloon manufacturing industry and the production of latex products. However, compound latex, due to the addition of additives, imparts more properties to the products and enhances some desired characteristics.
