What is latex made of??

i need the 5 main chemicals that make up balloons and most balloons r made of latex soooooooo...What is latex made of??
';Latex'; can refer to natural latex, ie, stuff made from sap from the rubber tree';, but the broader definition is a very fine dispersion of polymer particles in water.





Latex paints are NOT made from natural later, they are made [mostly] from acrylic latex. Acrylic latex is made by emulsifying acrylic monomers in water and polymerizing them in such a way that the polymer stays dispersed, it doesn't clot up.





I don't think most balloons are made of natural latex nowadays, so polyisoprene is out.





Try BuNa [poly butadiene], or poly 2 butene, and Google 'elastomer' for more





Or Google up some balloon manufacturers and see what their websites tell you.What is latex made of??
google it
Latex is mainly cis-1,4-polyisoprene, with small amounts of lots of other things. Being a natural product, its other constituents consist of many different compounds whose proportions will vary depend on place, season, etc.
I think Redbeard is right I dont know all the big words but I work in a factory that makes rubber cables very similar to latex and none of the modern rubbers are made out of natural rubber sap
