Late phase reaction 6-8hrs later. Involves the release of chemicals from T Cells and Macrophages. Vulcanization is a process by which latex is heated in the presence of sulfur. This improves the elasticity and thermostability. Ammonia and other preservatives are used to disrupt rubber particles and prevent coagulation.
Vulcanized latex is poured into molds or coat products.
Dipped products include gloves, balloons, condoms, adhesives foam and carpet backing. In dipped products the latex proteins migrate to the surface of the molds. Gloves are removed by stripping them wrong side out, placing the highest concentration of protein next to the skin. Natural rubber cannot be identified visually. Any rubber like object can be made out of natural or synthetic material.
