Some people say recently that latex pillows are actually not that expensive. A pillow from Thailand can cost more than 600 yuan in China. At the same price, if instead of selling pillows, we sell natural latex raw materials, this much latex would be enough to make 30 pillows.

The person who said this is so unreliable.

The international transaction price of natural rubber was as high as 46,000 yuan/ton. In the past two years, Thailand has planted a large number of rubber trees, and various countries are also developing their own rubber industries. International rubber prices remain at 17,000 yuan/ton. A latex pillow weighs about 1.3 kilograms, so countless people ignorantly say that the cost of a latex pillow is only 20 yuan. . . I would like to say that China’s water fee is only 2.8 yuan/ton, and mineral water should sell for 0.0014 yuan per bottle. Let’s buy a bottle of the cheapest mineral water for just one price. According to the above statement, we can buy more than 700 bottles.

We must be clear that the price of rubber referred to here is the price of rubber liquid. The rubber solution can solidify in 20 minutes in the air. The natives of Brazil use rubber solution to smear their feet as shoes. However, this kind of raw liquid is particularly easy to be oxidized and will disintegrate the next day. At the same time, many natural rubber products we know are made from rubber liquid. Their properties are so different that they definitely need deep processing. Latex products also require corresponding processing before they can be used.

The rubber stock solution will be stabilized through vulcanization and other processes. The more vulcanization and the more materials added, the higher the hardness of the product. Latex is the softest among rubber products. Its processing only requires simple processing to ensure the stability of the product. The process will remove other useless components (such as water) from the rubber stock solution, which undoubtedly increases the cost.

The ratio of relevant raw materials and processing technology all have patent fees, and small workshops can make them casually. The quality of output from large factories must be consistent. Regardless of the quality of the latex glue or the amount of effective rubber hydrocarbon solder, the factory will process the raw materials to make them into processing raw materials of qualified and uniform quality, which also has a cost.

After purchasing the rubber liquid, it needs to be transported to the factory for processing. This is undoubtedly a cost. Anyone who has done trade knows how high the logistics cost of products is. Is this free?

The final raw materials that can be used to make latex cost mostly more than 100 yuan. The raw material cost of a pillow is generally more than 150 yuan.

Doesn’t the production line cost money during the subsequent processing of latex pillows? Molds are not meant to last a lifetime once they are ready. Each time the mold is opened, the service life of the mold is wasted. The latex pillow mold of the Tralay process has more than 2,000 needles. During the process, there are also processes such as vacuuming, quick freezing, heating, cleaning, water removal, and shade drying. There are also patent licensing fees. The processing cost will increase the cost of a pillow by more than 100 yuan.

In the process of producing pillows, the factory needs to use necessary workers. The cost of these workers will also be 30 yuan.

When these products are imported into China, the overall logistics cost will be increased by another 50 yuan.

There will be another 50 yuan for customs clearance, customs fees, etc.

After entering China, the relevant sales company also needs 50 yuan in operating costs.

Finally, a courier fee of 15 yuan is required to deliver it to the user.

Low-priced latex pillows are all chemically synthesized rubber, so you must be cautious about products that are too low-priced. The chemicals emitted by synthetic latex during long-term use can affect people's health.

You spend 1/3 of your life with pillows, so choose a good pillow!
