Natural rubber latex is a milky fluid harvested from the rubber tree, known scientifically as Hevea brasiliensis. This latex is primarily composed of water, rubber particles, and various proteins. It is widely used in the production of rubber products, such as gloves, balloons, and tires, due to its elasticity and durability. The process of obtaining natural rubber latex involves tapping the rubber tree, which means making incisions in its bark to collect the fluid. Once collected, the latex can be processed and transformed into various forms, making it a valuable resource in many industries, including healthcare and manufacturing.
