| Latex Natural Rubber
- B Grade |
| Description |
Low modulus material with very
high extension to break.
Used as a vacuum diaphragm where high elongation is required for deep draw
moulds.
The 800% elongation factor enables it to conform to most severe curvatures
without bridging.
Formulated for operation up to 100°C, however continuous exposure to
100°C will after time compromise the physical characteristics.
Material should only be used for cold cure operations and de-bulking exercises.
Bonding details are available for Aerovac’s technical sales office. |
| Application |
Low cost alternative to natural rubber, where
maximum elongation is required. Latex does not offer the same
temperature resistance physical strength of natural rubber |

| Storage & handling |
|
| Temperature |
Store below 260°C and away from heaters. |
| Humidity |
Avoid damp storage conditions. |
| Light |
Protect from prolonged exposure to light,
in particular bright sunlight and strong u/v light, which will
degrade sheeting. |
| Metals |
Avoid contact with copper and copper containing
alloys, which may stain the sheeting. |
| Oils and solvents |
Avoid contact with oils, solvents and greases,
which will destroy natural rubber. |
