Latex

Rubber tree(Hevea brasiliensis) is quite common in Malaysia. The first rubber tree in Malaysia still can be found is in Kuala Kangsar, Perak. 

Latex is a white white milk-like fluid secreted by rubber tree.  It's a type of polymer, called polyisporene. Due to its elasticity, latex is widely used to produce latex glove, condoms and clothing.
