Vytex Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) is a patented specialty chemical that reduces antigenic proteins found in natural latex, which could prevent latex allergies from developing.
Vystar Corp. (Duluth, GA) is working with more than 45 manufacturers to conduct trials worldwide where Vytex is substituted for traditional latex or synthetic alternatives in numerous products including exam and surgical gloves, condoms, foams/bedding products, adhesives and coatings.
Bill Doyle, president and CEO of Vystar Corp., said, “VytexTM NRL tackles the problem of latex allergies by virtually eliminating proteins that cause the allergy, possibly making VytexTM NRL safe for people to use without fear of developing latex protein allergy.â€
