Antitack Agents

The surface of films made from rubber, especially natural rubber, have tendency to stick together due to its naturally high surface tack. Unfortunately, this trait can result in problems storing and transporting latex products. Anti-tack agents are materials designed to eliminate the self-adhesive quality of rubber products and are applied to products to form a thin protective anti-tacky layer on the surface.
