Yulex produces natural rubber products derived from the Hevea rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). With a mission to provide renewable, deforestation-free, and traceable alternatives to toxic and harmful neoprene and other oil-based, non-renewable materials. Their natural rubber products offer optimal performance on land or in the water, proving to be equal or better when compared to neoprene and geoprene in all applications. Yulex's natural rubber is sourced from PEFC & FSC certified renewable rubber tree forests, ensuring responsible and equitable agricultural practices. Their proprietary purification process removes up to 99% of impurities, including those known to cause Type 1 latex allergies. Yulex's natural rubber materials are also biodegradable, reducing the environmental impact of synthetic, petroleum-based materials. The company has partnered with several major brands, such as Patagonia, Seea, and Finisterre to incorporate Yulex natural rubber into their products. Patagonia, for example, replaced neoprene with Yulex natural rubber in their wetsuits, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 80% and offering a more sustainable choice for surfers. Yulex's innovative natural rubber products are not only environmentally friendly but also provide high performance, durability, and comfort, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
