Guayule Latex
Guayule latex is hypo allergenic and has mechanical properties of elasticity and resistance, far above any other latex. These properties remain unaltered even at very low temperatures (-196 C). The latex can be used to produce medical and non medical equipment for people allergic to other latexes.
Resins
The guayule is full of excellent resins that can be used in manufacturing processes.
Residential pesticides, paints and coatings, wood preservative coatings, amine-epoxy strippable coatings and adhesives are some of the applications for these resins.
Termite resistant wooden boards
Once the pulp has been freed of the main resins, what remains is pressed and dried into a strong fibre boards which, given the residues of resins, are not palatable to termites and other insects.
The fibre boards can be used as insulators under roofs or in the walls.
