Vystar, Ritex to market ultra-thin condom
DULUTH, Ga. (June 20, 2012)—Vytex natural rubber latex creator and producer Vystar Corp. and Ritex Gummiwarenfabrik GmbH, a maker of condoms and lubricants in Germany, plan to launch a premium ultra-thin condom made with Vytex in July.
The new Ritex Silver-Light condom, which is 15 percent thinner than regular condoms, is being specifically targeted for the German, Austrian and Dutch markets, Duluth-based Vystar said.
Vytex—a patented natural rubber latex with most of the non-rubber particles, including proteins, removed—currently is used in adhesives, gloves, balloons, foams and numerous other products.
