Vystar corp to announce
Atlanta, Georgia -- Atlanta-based Vystar Corp. will introduce a natural rubber latex named Vytex to manufacturers of latex products at the International Latex Conference to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, July 26-27. Vystar describes its product as "the new safe latex."
Vytex natural rubber latex is produced through a proprietary process that, according to the manufacturers, "deactivates antigenic proteins in latex making it safe for use by persons who are allergenic-protein sensitive."
Vystar ceo, Travis Honeycutt said, "Our process gets protein levels down below ranges standard tests currently label as 'undetectable.' Importantly, Vytex natural rubber latex can replace traditional natural rubber latex in virtually any manufacturing environment," he said, adding, "all of these processes are employed prior to vulcanization of the natural latex rubber."
