What are LaTeX classes and packages?

TeX Frequently Asked Questions
Current LaTeX makes a distinction between the macros that define the overall layout of a document, and the macros that tweak that layout (to one extent or another) to provide what the author really wants. The distinction was not very clear in LaTeX 2.09, and after some discussion (in the later stages of development of current LaTeX) the names “class” and “package” were applied to the two concepts.

Dunlop Latex uses the continuous Dunlop process. This latex does not have the consistant or supple characteristics of Talalay, and because it does not require the extensive processing of Talalay, it can be produced much cheaper. N Is a firm edge better? No. You want edge-to-edge comfort. Many companies try to save money by eliminating latex from their "latex bed". A 4 inch "firm" edge of polyurethane foam will save 20% in latex costs.

My baby has a latex allergy. Is this pacifier made of latex?

FAQs at Cloth Diaper Outlet
No! This pacifier is made of silicone. Also, it is medical grade and given out by many hospitals nationwide in their nurseries. Here's what I do: warm a couple of tablespoons of water in the microwave. Drop in one Baby Bit. Stir it until it dissolves. Add enough cool water to make one cup. The hot water helps it to dissolve faster, but the cool water makes it so you can use it right away (if you're like me, you've waited until you need it right NOW to make it!).

Why wasn't latex available for so long?

Latex - Frequently Asked Question - FloBeds.com
It was used in bedding and autos until the introduction of urethane. The large manufacturers of latex were primarily interested in automotive foam, and as urethane replaced latex in car seats, they dropped out of the market. Latex is heavier than urethane, and costs more to produce. In car seats, the extra weight becomes a problem for those worried about gas mileage. (Cheaper also made detroit happy;)

Why do my latex seals seem to be wearing out so quickly?

DUI - Diving Unlimited International Virtual Customer Servic...
DUI seals are manufactured from premium, ultra-pure latex. One of the major enemies of latex is ozone. Many people store their drysuits in areas where ozone is prevalent, such as garages and basements. It is important to try to minimize contact with ozone by storing your drysuit in an airtight bag if it will not be used for a little while. If you have ZipSeals, you can take the seals off for convenient storage in a Ziploc bag or other airtight container.
