What is latex ?
It is a secretion from certain plants (hevea for example), often having a milky aspect.
Natural latex is appreciated for its excellent elasticity (good tensile strength), and its resistance to alcohols, detergents and so on.
Avoid contact with grease, oils, and petroleum-based solvents.
Warning: some people are allergic to latex. If this is the case, avoid all contact and consult your doctor.
