Latex concentrates are blended with a variety of compounding chemicals before being used to make gloves, condoms, balloons, catheters, infant soothers, and dental dams.A gelling ingredient is then added, and the foamed latex is left to gel in a mold.Formers can be dipped in latex, foamed into foam or sponge, or extruded into latex thread or "elastic." For dipped items, 9 formers (molds) of the desired shapes are dipped into the compounded latex, allowing a thin film of latex to be deposited. Dipping can be done with or without a destabilizing chemical (coagulant or straight dips, respectively). The product is usually rinsed (the "wet-gel" or "pressure" leach) to eliminate the extra chemicals before it is Vulcanized in ovens at 100?C to 120?C.Extruded threads are cleaned, cured, dried, and lubricated.

Leaching is also performed after vulcanization, known as the dry-gel or posture leach. Given the prevalence of protein allergies, emphasis is currently being placed on the use of optimal leaching procedures to remove as many soluble allergenic proteins as feasible. Before the products are removed from the formers, the gloves are immersed in a slurry tank and powder is added to them. For foam products,10 the process often entails incorporating air into the compounded latex concentrate using a former. A gelling ingredient is then added, and the foamed latex is left to gel in a mold. Curing takes place at 100°C, followed by washing and drying of the finished product. Latex threads11 are made by continuously extruding a sufficiently compounded latex concentrate through appropriate nozzles with specific diameters into a latex coagulant bath. The latter is typically an aqueous solution of acetic acid at the right concentration. Extruded threads are cleaned, cured, dried, and lubricated.
