It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.Store your latex shield in a cool, dry environment. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your shield from adhering to other products.
