Good read for science geeks...NRL (Natural Rubber Latex) is in more than you realize.

CONCLUSIONS
Aluminum hydroxide-treated NRL is the exclusive material of choice by the largest US
manufacturer of latex balloons due to the radiant colors quantified by independent test
methods. Glove manufacturers continue to differentiate their products and upgrade to Vytex
due to the softness/low modulus and are able to increase filler loading due to the absence of
non-rubbers, reduce leaching processes and cost. The aluminum hydroxide-treated NRL has a
longer “pot life” compared to regular NRL which benefits glove manufacturers in terms of longer
shelf life of the compound allowing for more dipping flexibility. These attributes are attractive in
other applications, such as foam, where less rubber odor and a whiter color are highly desirable.
Aluminum hydroxide treated-NRL has a low non-rubber content compared to regular NRL and is
virtually free of the 14kD and 30kD polypeptide proteins reported to be known Type 1 latex
allergens. These characteristics make it the material of choice for applications seeking highquality, safer end products.
