Search Results - Latex

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Latex refers generically to a stable dispersion (emulsion) of polymer microparticles in an aqueous medium. Latexes may be natural or synthetic. Latex as found in nature is the milky sap of many plants that coagulates on exposure to air. It is a complex emulsion in which proteins, alkaloids, starches, sugars, oils, tannins, resins and gums are found. In most plants, latex is white, but some have yellow, orange, or scarlet latex.

The word is also used to refer to natural latex rubber; particularly for non-vulcanized rubber. Such is the case in products like latex condoms and latex clothing. It can also be made synthetically by polymerizing a monomer that has been emulsified with surfactants.

The term latex is attributed to Charles Marie de la Condamine, which is derived from lac, the Latin word for milk.[1]

The cells or vessels in which latex is found make up the laticiferous system, which forms in two very different ways. In many plants, the laticiferous system is formed from rows of cells laid down in the meristem of the stem or root. The cell walls between these cells are dissolved so that continuous tubes, called latex vessels, are formed. This method of formation is found in the poppy family, in the rubber trees (Para rubber tree and Castilla elastica), and in the Cichorieae, a section of the Family Asteraceae distinguished by the presence of latex in its members. Dandelion, lettuce, hawkweed and salsify are members of the Cichorieae. It is also present in another member of the Asteraceae, the guayule plant.

9. Englander Synergy - A Review of the Englander Memory Foam Mattress
October 11, 2008

The Englander Synergy mattress is almost unique in the industry; a combination of memory foam and 100% natural latex. The idea behind the concept is to provide comfort from the memory foam and support and resilience from the latex core. But, does it work or does this mattress fall apart under closer scrutiny? The introduction of visco-elastic in the bedding industry has been the single most important advance in mattresses since the introduction of the innerspring. There's simply no disputing that this material (universally known as memory foam) offers the sleeper the best possible comfort... (read more)

September 29, 2008

Paints are of various types. Enamel meant oil-based paints years ago. Today it is known as durable latex paint. On new wood or masonry surfaces sealers are used, they help in mainly sealing the surface of the material by forming a base coat which in turn helps in keeping the top coat being absorbed unevenly. Then to make the substrate more uniform we have primers which also create a tight bond between the surface where we are going to paint and the topcoat. ON concrete walls and floors we have masonry or cementious paints. The paint which is applied on ceiling is made such as it doesn’t drip.... (read more)

It used to be that your choices in paint were confined to the color and the question of latex vs. oil. However, our increasing knowledge of our impact on our environment is changing the face of home painting. The paint that we have taken for granted is bubbling over with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are potential carcinogens. The fumes emitted by these substances can last for years after the paint was applied. It is estimated that the air within a house is three times as polluted as the air outside the house. Today, there is a big movement afoot to produce paints that impact our ... (read more)
