The search for a non-allergenic Natural Rubber (Hevea Brasiliansis) latex stops here?

A USA based company, Vystar Corporation has developed a new low-allergen natural rubber latex (NRL) called Vytex that they believe could be the key to recapturing markets that are currently being lost to synthetic polymers.

Test results obtained to date consistently show that the Vytex technology reduces antigenic proteins to levels considered undetectable by the most widely used standard tests. Importantly, denaturing - rather than removing, - the proteins results in a product that meets or exceeds the desirable chemical and physical properties of NRL.
Vystar gave the follow statistics:

1) The cost for non-latex gloves passed along to the healthcare industry can be two to three times that of Vytex surgical gloves.
2) The cost of synthetics rises with the cost of petroleum products.
3) Vytex's marketability coupled with the added focus of increased output in Southeast Asia, makes it an excellent alternative to untreated NRL as well as to the synthetics.
4) Vytex is a natural choice for the $912 million examination glove,
$291 million surgical glove and $384 million condom industries.

Vystar announced last month (August 2006) that Revertex Malaysia, the world's largest producer of prevulcanized rubber lattices and post vulcanizable latex compounds, will be the first to produce Vytex.
