Latex rubber moulds produce a 3D object rather than a plaque or flat backed object such as is produced using vacuum formed plastic moulds. They are much more difficult and labour intensive to produce and consequently are much more expensive than plastic moulds. The plaster is poured into the latex mould and when hard the mould is removed by pulling off much the same way you would remove a sock from your foot.

Moulds are everywhere, including indoors, but spore counts are typically much higher outdoors. Common indoor locations for mould are places that are moist such as bathroom walls, metal window frames and basements. See similar questions...

Treated with care our vacuum formed moulds and latex moulds will last for years and produce many castings. If latex is exposed to continuous heat and sunlight, the mould may only last for 12 months before starting to deteriorate. See similar questions...

No, we are in the business of the design and manufacture of moulds however, we can recommend customers who are set up to handle this type of work. Shortly we hope to set up a section on our website listing whiteware and decorative concrete casting manufacturers. See similar questions...

Latex is naturally conforming, so you are assured optimal orthopedic support in any sleep position. This unique ability to conform to your body alleviates areas of high pressure that cause you to toss and turn at night. Latex is also hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, dust-mite resistant and breathable. Because it breathes to remove body moisture, it keeps you warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer.

A vacuum is placed on the mold, which removes air bubbles/pockets and distributes the liquid rubber evenly through the mold. Heat sent through the rods, providing even temperature and yielding a consistent latex cores without air pockets or uneven firmnesses. Latex International is the only North American supplier of latex. Besides Latex International, there are two other producers of Talalay latex. One in England, and one in The Netherlands.

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. See similar questions...

People that are allergic to latex are allergic to the protein enzymes in natural latex. Latex that is used on today’s carpet is a synthetic latex that doesn’t have these protein enzymes. Request that the adhesive being used be tested and comply with the CRI IAQ testing program, meaning that the adhesive has the lowest possible emissions. Ventilation and good air exchange for approximately 48 to 72 hours should alleviate most odors. See similar questions...

We do not recommend washing polycarbonate moulds in temperatures over 50?C or using any detergents. You may wash them in a dishwasher provided only hot water is used and no detergent, because temperatures over 50?C and detergents will ruin the moulds. Silicon moulds can be washed in hand hot water, with no detergents. As mostly sugar based products are used in silicon moulds, the sugar should dissolve in the water, with no need for detergents. www.vantagehouse. See similar questions...
