The latex production process is a delicate and difficult process in which many variables can influence key parameters like foam build-up, foam stability, gelation, vulcanization, etc.

Therefore Arpico's R&D department does ongoing research into the continuous improvement of the control of these process variables.

Several raw materials and process configurations are tested every year to improve the processability and the end product, as to ensure the leading position of Latexco's foam products in the market.
