How
Okamoto condom is made |
|
|
|
| Latex have to pass 5 principal stages before a
condom has been made, please click on each stage for more information. |
| Compounding |
|
| At a compounding stage, latex, deionized water,
and various chemicals are combined and procesed into a latex compound. The
sophistication of Okamoto's compounding technology, one of the speciall features of its
production system, results in a latex compound of superior moldability and therefore in
defect-free contraceptives. |

| Testing |
|
| The contraceptives are submitted to electrical
pinhole testing by machines each capable of handling over 15,000 pieces per hour. In
certain plants, a number of contraceptives from each production batch then undergo
water-leakage and air bursting tests, both internationally approved quality control
procedures. |
