Dipping stage

Latex condoms are manufactured using glass molds, which are immersed in latex baths. A thin latex film forms in the molds. The bath is carried out twice, to give more solidity and resistance to the latex.

The ridge is then formed at the open end of the condom.

It then passes into a tunnel for vulcanization, at a temperature of 115°C. After this, the latex layer has already formed the condom and the latter can be detached from the mold after a leaching stage, which consists of immersing the molds with latex in hot water to remove any excess of chemicals.

Detachment (demolding) is done through brushes that push the condom until detachment is achieved. Before the mold starts the process again, it goes through a system that cleans any residue of the compound that has remained from the previous submersions.

WASHING AND DRYING

To prevent condoms from sticking to each other, they are washed in industrial washing machines where talcum powder is added. Then are dried in drying machines that use centrifugal force at temperatures of 110°C to completely remove humidity.
