US-based Vystar, the creator of Vytex natural rubber latex, and RitexGummiwarenfabrik, a German condom and lubricant manufacturer, have launched an ultra-thin condom made with Vytex. The latter is a patented, all-natural raw material that is said to reduce the total and antigenic proteins and other non-rubber particles found in NRL and is currently a base material in adhesives, gloves, balloons, cohesives and foams. The global condom market is projected to be worth US$6 billion by 2015 with anticipated sales of over 27 billion units and Europe representing 25% of the global market value. The new Ritex Silver-Light condom is specifically targeting the German, Austrian and Dutch markets.
