Okay… there’s nice latex, cool latex, sexy latex… and then there’s WOW LATEX!
And yes, this is that category!
A long time ago, LatexRepair used to make this by hand as separate sheets, but now you can simply buy it by the roll.
Cool? Or super cool?!
This latex has a little secret.
It reacts to temperature! The base color is transparent brown, but as soon as it gets warm, poof, it turns pink or clear natural. When it cools down again, it neatly returns to its original color. The greater the temperature difference, the more spectacular the effect. And yes, it also reacts to body heat, but give it a little time to absorb your warmth. Just touching it briefly is not enough.
Perfect for performances, fashion shows or video clips.
Imagine a model walking the catwalk in brown latex, then taking a warm shower. The latex turns transparent and the oohs and aahs from the audience are guaranteed.
But honestly, this latex is also brilliant for home use. Make a T-shirt for your partner, say nothing and step into the shower together. Or “accidentally” spill a cup of warm water over it, purely for science of course.
In short, this latex is not just any latex. It’s magical latex with a surprising personality.
Do you dare to try it? Literally and figuratively?
All the latex we sell is natural latex made from the sap of the rubber tree from rubber plantations in Thailand and Malaysia. The latex has a smooth side and a slightly duller side. You can use both sides of the latex. The latex is sold in rolls with a maximum length of 10 meters. The width of the latex can vary from ± 90 cm to ± 130 cm, which differs per manufacturer.
The thicker the latex, the stiffer and the thinner the more flexible the latex is. Most latex clothing is made of latex with a thickness of 0.40 mm.
We sell the latex in many different nice colors. We have taken photos of each color and sometimes also short videos for an impression of the color. So take a good look at the videos and you will see the latex move and see what the light does to the color of the latex.
Unfortunately it is impossible to display a color correctly on a screen because every screen is different, phone, TV, PC, tablet, laptop etc. This applies not only to latex, but to all materials and images displayed on screens.
So the latex may look different in real life in terms of color, shade, warmth, light, dark, etc. When you receive the latex there is always a layer of talcum powder on it, which also affects the color. Remove the talcum powder with a little water to see the correct color. So keep all this in mind.
Latex is colored with pigments. Each 'dye bath' (batch) can be different, even if you order the same color. Only latex that comes from the same 'dye bath' (batch) always has the same color.
So if you order latex in the color 'red' today, and if you order the color 'red' again tomorrow, there may be a color difference. So keep that in mind and order enough for your project. If you are going to make latex clothing for customers, it is important to inform them as well. Because if they now want to have red latex leggings made and next month they want to have a red jacket made to go with those leggings, then there can be a real color difference.
And finally… latex is and remains a natural product. The color can also change due to the influence of light, ozone, heat, etc.
This is not only the case with latex, but also with other fabrics, paint and wallpaper, etc.
Because latex is colored with pigments, the color of the latex can also transfer. The advice is therefore not to hang red latex next to white latex, for example, because this will result in stains on the white latex. This applies to all colors. Black can also cause stains. Just like metals, body lotion, perfume etc.
