Re: Wait a second liquid latexPosted by MARTIN ECCLES on September 7, 2001 at 16:03:19: In reply to: Wait a second posted by Khoa on September 6, 2001 at 01:35:05: wait 2 minutes Khoa foam latex is a different medium and has toblended with chemicals to get it to foam, A casting of alginate is first applied to the skin to copy the form so that the prosthetic can be molded, Cosmetic (so called) latex is a synthetic co polymer that has a very low percentage of zinc and sulphur we sell into the tv and theatrical industry so give me some credit I do know my own product ours is in fact a low protein latex that will not cause any adverse reaction $1.65 is very cheap for 500ml I don't know how you manage that one. The fact of the matter is latex is latex it comes from a tree in its purest form it is spun (centrifuged) to get rid of at least 40% water and then shipped to processors Ours is heated (vulcanized) for 70 hours and further processing is done to leach out the proteins (or most of it) as a high protein latex could cause de-sensitisation and anaphylaxis. a very small amount of ammonia less than 0.3% is added as an anti oxident and to prevent bactera forming the correct term is cis 1.4 polyisoprene the term Cosmetic is only a term which describes alteration in appearance (tempory)this term is mainly used as a selling grab did you really think I would openly say without having the facts that farscape and planet of the apes used latex to from the masks, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT APPLYING FOAM LATEX TO THE SKIN you have your wires crossed me thinks.......
