For those customers who require a very low protein product but still wish to retain the benefits associated with Natural Rubber Latex, Vytex NRL will be an appropriate choice. Vytex NRL includes excellent liquid barrier protection, tactile sensitivity, elasticity, strength and comfort all while retaining the positive characteristics of natural rubber latex. The product has virtually undetectable levels of the antigenic proteins as measured by today’s standard protein tests.

Based on their success, we are pleased that they have chosen to incorporate Vytex NRL into their extensive Dip Molded product line.
