Natural Latex

Now more and more people pursuit of quality life, and The latex pillow in Thailand is popular in recent years, it is become a characteristic products when you have a trip to Thailand, while we must be careful because there are a lot of pits in it. Latex pillows bought from outside or e-commerce are not real natural latex pillows in many cases, it was made of synthetic rubber. CTI experts tell us that synthetic rubber may contain styrene which is a suspected carcinogen.

◉ Business Challenges

It has a strong and unpleasant smell, is it made by the natural latex?
Poor resilience and compression resistance?
Does the product have the effect of releasing negative ions and antibacterial and anti-mite properties?
The safety and applicability of natural latex have been questioned due to allergic reactions, Irrational expansion of natural latex foaming sponge products, policy and economic pressure lead to the gradual loss of competitive advantage and other problems.

◉ Service Content

Water-soluble protein, natural latex content and other additives of natural latex pillow were tested by FT-IR(Fourier transform infrared spectrometer), PyGCMS(pyrolysis gas phase mass spectrometer), TGA(thermogravimetric analyzer), EDX(energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer) and UV-VIS(uV-vis spectrophotometer).The results show that the natural latex pillows are made of colloids with appropriate additives, and the content of natural latex and styrene butadiene latex can be calculated by the weight loss coefficient. Proper addition of styrene butadiene latex additives can improve the qualified rate of finished products and improve the physical properties.
