Latex thread

Spandex fibers are available as fine as 1.1 tex (10 den), and the finest extmded latex thread available is about 16 tex (140 den). The availabihty of spandex fibers in such fine sizes and their unique properties compared to mbber, eg, dyeabiUty, high modulus, abrasion resistance, and whiteness, has allowed extensive penetration into hosiery and sportswear markets. 

Spandex fibres, because of their higher modulus, tensile strength and resistance to oxidation, as well as their ability to be produced at finer deniers, have made severe inroads into the natural rubber latex thread market. They have also enabled lighter weight garments to be produced. Staple fibre blends with non-elastic fibres have also been introduced. 

Other than tire use, there are few other significantly large application areas for natural mbber that can be identified, as indicated in Table 10. The use of natural mbber in latex products covers items such as gloves, condoms, balloons, catheters and other dipped goods, latex thread, foam and carpet backing, and rubberized coir and hair. In total, latex goods consume about 11% of world mbber production. Thereafter, there are four categories footwear,...
