Synthetic Latex vs Natural Latex

At Simalfa, we prioritize safety and performance by utilizing synthetic latex in our products, unlike the commonly used natural latex. Synthetic latex, crafted through a controlled manufacturing process, ensures hypoallergenic properties, superior durability, and consistent quality.

This choice not only makes our products accessible but also environmentally conscious, catering to a broader audience without compromising on health and well being, or sustainability.

Synthetic Latex

Synthetic latex, used in Simalfa products, offers several advantages. It is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with latex sensitivities, unlike natural latex. The controlled manufacturing processes ensure it has a uniform structure, which guarantees consistent quality and performance. Additionally, synthetic latex is more durable and resistant to wear and tear, effectively maintaining its bond over time. It is also more cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as its production allows for more controlled emissions and resource usage compared to the harvesting of natural latex.

Natural Latex

Natural latex is problematic for some individuals primarily due to latex allergies. Natural latex, derived from the sap of rubber trees, contains proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in some people. These reactions can range from mild skin irritations to more severe responses like respiratory issues or anaphylaxis, especially if the individual has a significant latex allergy. As such, people who are aware of their latex sensitivity often choose products made from alternative materials that do not contain natural latex.
