Synthetic Polyisoprene Latex
BSTS
polyisoprene latex is an aqueous, water-based emulsion of polyisoprene with a
high cis-1,4 content similar to a natural rubber. It can be used in a wide
variety of formulations and is particularly suited to latex dipped products
using processing technologies including straight dipping, coagulant dipping and
other dipping process etc.
BSTS offers a
clean-processed polyisoprene latex which provides form and fit similar to
natural rubber latex but in a synthetic material.
• Identical
chemical structure to natural rubber latex
• Performs
better than NR latex in term of comfort, fit, feel and durability
• Does not
include the protein associated with latex sensitivity and allergic reactions
The products of BSTS polyisoprene latex are used in a
wide range of applications such as surgical gloves, condoms, catheters, dental dams, probe cover
etc.

APPLICATIONS
Surgical gloves
BSTS polyisoprene latex are a
superior alternatives to natural rubber for the production of surgical gloves
that require outstanding strength, reliable user protection and long-lasting
wear comfort. Polyisoprene also reduces the potential exposure of physicians,
nurses, and patients to naturally occurring latex proteins that cause Type I
allergic reactions.
Condoms
BSTS polyisoprene latex enables
manufacturers to achieve strength, sensitivity, good transparent which are
crucial features for condom application with high purity and soft-feeling like nature skin. BSTS polyisoprene latex is a superior
alternative to natural rubber latex, eliminating risks of Type I allergies
Catheters
BSTS polyisoprene latex is extreme
purity alternatives to natural rubber latex for producing catheters. The synthetic polyisoprene latex exhibits
consistent high quality and easy processing with excellent strength and elongation and low modulus.
Dental dams
BSTS polyisoprene latex is able to manufacturer to achieve a very high stretchability consistent with a good tear tolerance without any patient/staff reactions. BSTS polyisoprene latex is a superior alternative to natural rubber latex, eliminating risks of Type I allergies. It is easy to apply and used for improved patient comfort and enhanced efficient application of the dental dam.
Probe covers
BSTS polyisoprene latex is a superior alternative to natural rubber latex and exhibits good appearance for producing probe covers which does not contain
natural rubber proteins, eliminating risks of Type I allergies. BSTS polyisoprene
probe covers retain its shape to fit probes securely during the medical operation. This latex
is able to produce low toxicity probe covers that can potentially be used in
sensitive areas.
