Latex is a milky plant extract found in nature, secreted by many plants and solidified when exposed to air.
Latex is a complex liquid composition and contains many substances such as protein, starch, alkaloid, sugar, oil, gum, tannin, resin.
In many plants the latex is white in color, but in some plants it can also be yellow, orange or red.
Latex is one of the adhesive materials used in the packaging industry.
In liquid form, it can hold onto the paper surface on which it is applied, and when it dries, it does not stick when it comes into contact with the paper parts.
It only sticks together when kissed with another surface that has been coated with latex. Due to this feature, the packaging of large or long objects that cause difficulty in boxing is kept open with a latex applied edge.
When quick drying is required on latex-applied surfaces, the application is in an environment at 20 °C to 35 °C with air flow supported by fans.
In an extremely hot environment, latex becomes soft and does not dry out.
In a cold environment, it becomes difficult to penetrate the paper. If possible, a sulphurous environment will dry the latex better.
