Also, throughout the manufacturing process...take for example Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (safety labels for power equipment, foil tape for HVAC duct work, automotive interior trim assembly, sound/vibration damping films, tape, etc)

The use of Vytex NRL (low protein NRL) for adhesive applications is of
particular importance because post leaching techniques commonly used for the removal of water soluble
materials are not applicable for these product applications(Pressure Sensitive Adhesives). This makes a cleaner, stonger bond and improves effects of oxidation (becoming brittle over time) with normal anti-oxidant additives. 3M anyone?



Also, the resulting smoothness of the Vytex NRL, which is attributed to improved stability, eliminates the need for filtering during compounding and assists in the adhesive coating process downstream.

benefits like this one example are shown in pretty much every NRL product application using Vytex NRL.

Now remember, Vytex is not just for latex anymore...

The Vytex deproteinization process, originally used for latex, is now being used to develop specialty solid (non-latex) rubber, resulting in a stronger and more durable solid rubber. This will offer new and potentially superior options for tires, plasticizers and binders, marine paint, rubber-to-metal bonding components, iodinated natural rubber conductive sheets, brominated natural rubber glossy surface finishes, thin films and sheets, certain clear plastic films, rubber resin for bonding and stiffener applications, elastic bands, medical grade rubber sheeting, anti-static sheeting, industrial sheeting, gaskets/O-ring/seals, footwear soles, vibration dampening pads and more. It also offers opportunities for grafts with other polymerizable materials to enable greater compatibility.
