Dies ist der weiße Klebstoff der für das dünne Latex verwendet wird, wie z.B. 0.3mm und dünner (Strümpfe etc.), sowie für das zusammen kleben von latex mit Stoffen, Reißverschlüssen etc.
Der Kleber lässt das Latex nicht zusammenrollen und macht es einfacher diese dünnen Latexstücke zusammen zu kleben. Er besteht auf einer Wasserbasis mit einem geringen Beigemisch von Ammoniak.
Da der Kleber aus einer Wasserbasis besteht, hat er eine gering höhere Verdunstungszeit als die Gummilösung. Beim auftragen ist der Klebstoff weiß, was sich jedoch während der Trocknungszeit ändert, er wird durchsichtig. Wenn der Kleber auf dem Latex durchsichtig geworden ist, kann man die beiden Latexstücke zusammenkleben. Auch hier ist zu beachten das der Kleber auf beiden zusammen zuklebenden Stücken aufgetragen werden muss.
Sollte der Kleber einmal zu dickflüssig werden, so kann man diesen einfach mi einem Schluck Wasser verdünnen.
Sei vorsichtig mit deiner Kleideung, Latex Milch lässt sich nur mühsam aus Stoffen entfernen. Sollte etwas auf die Arbeitsplatte gelangen, dann kann man dies einfach mit der flachen Hand weg rubbeln oder mit einem Küchentuch abwischen.
Die Latexmilch kann man ganz einfach online Bestellen, wie z.B. in Modellier Läden, Leder Shops oder einigen Latex Läden, wie z.B. bei Blackstyle.
Warnung! Die Dämpfe der Latex Milch sind schädlich! Die Anwendung sollte in gut gelüfteten Räumen geschehen!

Before gluing a zipper onto your garment. I heard you should put this white natural latex glue on the fabric part of the zipper to give it a better bond to the latex material you are gluing it to, otherwise it the zipper could bust off of the garment when wearing it because the bond of the fabric from the zipper won’t be strong enough to hold on to the latex when glued to it.
Is this true?

Hi.
I worked in industry for a while and have been making clothing for a couple of years. I have never heard of ‘white nature latex milk’ as a glue, but it sounds to me like liquid latex.
So yes, to install zippers, both sides of the zipper fabric are painted with the liquid latex. I say ‘both’ sides because a 1 inch strip placed on the inside and covering the zipper fabric and the main piece is added for re-enforcement.
Anytime you want to attach a non latex material to the latex, you will have to paint it with the liquid latex before gluing. (Let it dry)
If you paint heavy woven fabric with it, you can glue it to the inside of the garment and then can sew on buttons or install snaps
As to the line in the article
because it will not crinkle the thin
latex sheeting after you applied the glue
To avoid this, some people put low tack masking tape on the reverse of the part to receive the glue, but I find it MUCH easier to, whenever possible, pre-glue the reverse portions of all pieces before removing the backing paper. (This does take some pre-planning(or experience) though.
Anyways, Have fun.

It is called different names:
Latex rubber milk
Latex rubber sap
Natural latex milk
Moulding latex
Latex milk
Liquid latex
Latex glue
etc.
The list is long and always depending on the industry in which it will be sold. Its mostly a marketing matter. But industries in India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka use commonly the name Natural Rubber Latex. I didnt used the name liquid latex, because a lot of people think then about the pigmented and thickened liquid latex used for body painting etc.
Bottom line is that what ever we want to call it, Natural Rubber latex is that what is in it. It is a suspension, mainly consisting of very small particles of rubber, water and ammonia. I will give a deeper explanation at another point.

Thank you so much for your replys and yes after reading other articles I found online the adhesive that is used to coat the zipper before attaching it to the latex garment is called AMMONIA or WATER based adhesive… corret?

hello,
Can you tall me how much latex can be glued with with latex milk?
Thank you.
April 5th, 2009 at %H:%M
It depends on how much you buy. But with a bottle of 100ml you can glue a lot!!! I cant tell how much exactly, but its long lasting! The latex milk is just used for very thin latex and gluing cotton bands, zippers, applications etc. on latex. So you wont use it for every project. I use more often the rubber cement.

Hi,

Is the liquid latex used to bond latex to non latex, is the same as this : http://www.liquidlatex.com/
Or its an other type of liquid latex?

September 18th, 2009 at %H:%M
Blackstyle say the milk is for rubber less than 0.60mm thick but u are saying it’s for less than 0,30mm. Which one is right?
Thanks for your help

Just a quick question about using latex milk. I know you are recommending it for use on lighter mateials, for hoods etc, but as is is water based does it compromise the integrity of the finished item when it is being cleaned in water?
March 13th, 2010 at %H:%M
@Tammy
No!….
*ahem*….Latexmilk…:you apply it…you wait until the fluids evaporated and you have the rubber left.
rubber: not dissolvable by water…

Hi, I am a bit confused, do you need to use adhesive cement as well as the latex milk on top after the latex milk has dried?
March 29th, 2010 at %H:%M
@Aletia
No you just need one kind of glue at a time. So if you use very thin latex e.g. 0.25mm then I would recommend the latex milk and for everything that is thicker then that I would recommend to use the rubber cement.

Does anyone know a good place in the USA to order Latex Milk online?
Thanks!
May 12th, 2010 at %H:%M
HELLO1 youre site is ACE Kitty, its helping so much with everything but one thing…THICKNESS of the latex! I inderstand that 0.25mm is very thin. I have a latex dress that is rather thin (it was cheap). I have a really well made one, it’s much thicker but I have NO idea what the size of the latex is. I do not like think latex for clothes….So if I want to make dresses/trousers/tops for clubbing what size thickness of sheet do I need??
Thank you Kitty!
May 14th, 2010 at %H:%M
@SJ I use 0.25 mm latex for stockings and gloves, 0.4 mm latex to dresses, shirts and tops and finally 0.6 mm latex to trousers.
June 9th, 2010 at %H:%M
Hi Kitty,
Exellent and informative site! Is this stuff the adhesive I need for light stuff?
“AURO 380 Natural latex milk and natural resin dispersion adhesive” ? Also is the S/FX latex adhesive you see in make-up stores the same thing?
Apologies for what maybe going over old ground!
Best Regards,
RJS

Does it have to be cotton, or can you saturate any fabric? Also can you saturate the fabric with rubber cement or only liquid latex?
Also what can you use to remove rubber cement or latex glue from the latex if you make a mistake?
September 1st, 2010 at %H:%M
@Riki Yes, you can saturate any fabric. Only use liquid latex for this.
Remove remove rubber cement or latex glue from the latex with Heptane.
