Dunlop or Talalay, that is the question.
There's a lot of confusion about what Dunlop and Talalay mean. They are neither types of latex nor types of rubber trees, but types of processing. Dunlop is a process that's been around since 1929 and involves the traditional manufacturing method. Talalay is the name of a newer process. Here's how they differ.
Dunlop
When Dunlop latex is made, the serum is frothed in a centrifuge, poured into a mold, covered and baked at a low temperature. The natural sediments in the latex settle to the bottom of the mold, which yields a layer that is slightly firmer on the bottom side.
Talalay
In the Talalay process, after the latex is poured, the mold is sealed and air is vacuumed out. Then the mold is flash-frozen to stabilize the material. This produces a more consistent cell structure, as some of the weaker air bubbles are vacuumed out. Because of the added steps, Talalay latex is more expensive than Dunlop.
What's
the difference between Talalay latex and Dunlop process latex?

The
Talalay process is a highly controlled, sophisticated latex manufacturing
process that produces the highest quality and most consistent latex
available in the world. The Dunlop process is the most commonly
used production method globally. |
