Getahindus presently has a large and well-equipped laboratory to undertake in-house testing of raw materials (such as latex and chemicals) for QC (Quality Control) purposes prior to their use in the factory. Such tests on latex may include but are not limited to TSC (Total Solids Content), DRC (Dry Rubber Content), Alkalinity, VFA (Volatile Fatty Acid) number, MST (Mechanical Stability Time) and Viscosity. Laboratory facilities are also available to prepare various latex end-products using the various latices produced by the factory, like gloves, balloons, condoms, catheters, etc. and test them to ensure their compliance to required specifications. To support this testing work, the laboratory has acquired many sophisticated testing equipment like Tensile-testers, Condom-bursting test machine, Particle Size Analyzer, Protein analysis Spectrometer, etc.
Our team of chemists and latex technologists presently not only conduct R&D on various projects to innovate and develop new products, but also can provide on-site technical services to our customers to either improve their existing products or help provide solutions to problems that they might encounter whilst using our latices to make their products. We take and observe GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) very seriously in our own factory as well as during the service trials at our customers’ factories, so as to ensure that the highest quality standards are achieved in our services and in the final end-products.
As we have enormous experience in producing various kinds of natural rubber latices, whether conventional, compounded or modified, we are continuously on the lookout to seek new customers who may have innovating ideas for novel products that could revolutionize the landscape of NR latex applications. In this respect, we would welcome such potential customers to approach and discuss with us on a confidential basis. It is our sincere hope that by doing so, we could eventually develop a new product that would benefit everyone whilst attaining a win-win business situation for both parties.
