Silicone and latex itself is very difficult to distinguish, so many times want to distinguish a product is silicone products or latex products will be very troublesome, the following I will give you a few common methods of identification:.

1, look, natural latex surface will have a crust phenomenon, looks like milk skin a substance, press will produce natural folds. Synthetic latex is distilled at high temperatures, the powder added will be black, so generally synthetic latex will add a lot of fluorescent agents and whitening agents to cover this phenomenon, so synthetic latex will look very white, and the surface will be oily. When natural latex is distilled at a high temperature, it will yellow, and afterwards it will be washed, and after that it will appear yellowish or yellowish-white in color. Natural latex in the production will have bubbles generated, now in the process can not be avoided, so too perfect products need to be careful.

2, smell, in fact, latex is originally an alias for natural rubber juice, so the essence of natural latex is still rubber juice, although the rubber juice looks milky white like milk, but their essence is different, so there is no so-called milk smell. A pure natural latex product should have a light rubbery smell, not a creamy smell. Synthetic latex is made with chemicals that evaporate and emit a pungent smell, to cover up the smell add fragrance to it. When I talked to the head of a natural latex brand Taratian, he told me that some natural latex manufacturers are now pressured by public opinion to add flavors to their products, so he was quite helpless in this matter, the factory and he argued about this incident for a long time, but still decided to keep the original color, not to add. Now think about it, quite a courageous person. Well, back to the topic, the natural latex itself will have a great rubber smell, in the washing of this process, will wash away most of the flavor, which is why there will be a faint rubber smell. But some workers in the wash, not wash thoroughly, so some will be yellow or rubbery smell strong.

3, touch, natural rubber feel soft to the touch, a little like touching not dry clothes like the feeling, a little wet hands. Feel very good, like touching the feel of baby skin. And you can fold the product in half and then spread your hands, natural latex will be more elastic will pop away, synthetic does not have this ability.

4, tear, natural latex is a medium firm characteristics, so you can not tear hard, tear hard will tear the natural latex products bad. Synthetic latex because the inside of the added adhesive so very strong, very resistant to tearing. Some products are bad when touched or gently pulled, then the product itself is the problem of production, so also be careful.

5, other, natural latex products can not be in a vacuum for a long time, because of its slow rebound characteristics, the vacuum needs an hour or so to restore the original state, more than a month will take longer, and there is a high probability of damage to his molecular structure, resulting in the inability to rebound condition. If you can not recover, then the product will only be scrapped. That's why natural latex products are generally not vacuumed. Synthetic latex can be vacuumed for a long time and swell quickly after opening to restore the original state.

Finally, the market now claims to be a lot of natural latex products, but the real or fake or need to identify themselves, natural latex products will become yellow year by year, because of its natural decomposable properties, so do not expose to the sun do not expose to the sun do not expose to the sun, exposure to the sun will become yellow and hardened powder. Natural latex products can be washed, machine washing is not recommended, it is best to rinse with cold soapy water, squeeze the water after washing in a ventilated place natural shade dry or blow dry with a hair dryer.
