About Our
Latex Sheets
The heart of our products
Not more sensitive — just more honest. Light colors (especially white, light purples, natural or crystal) will still react to sweat, sun, or metal contact like any other latex. They just show it faster.
Always store light latex away from UV light and metals, and be careful with sweat during wear — especially around copper-based jewelry or hardware.
Because our sheets are handmade to your order, we can’t offer cut samples — each color run means a full production cycle. To offer you samples, we would ned to specially produce them for you. If you plan a project where you absolutely need to be sure, we can do that on special request on a fee, please contact us.
For inspiration, you can always buy our “lucky bag” of scraps, we offer them on a kg-base. Also check our “Moodboards”: we’re happy to help guide you if you’re unsure. And hey, if you’re after a custom experiment, we love a challenge — just reach out.
We use carefully tested pigments that are highly stable in latex. That said, latex is a natural material, and over time, some color shifting or fading can occur — especially with poor storage, heavy sun exposure, or metal contact.
For best results:
- Store similar colors together (some color transfer can happen)
- Keep your pieces in a dark, dry place
- Avoid contact with copper, brass, or untreated metals
This isn’t “bleeding” like in textiles — it’s more like a slow shift. Treat your latex kindly, and it will hold its color beautifully.
Not yet — but it’s in the works.
We’re currently researching and testing methods for direct printing on latex, but it’s a delicate process. Latex reacts differently than fabric or vinyl, and we want to make sure any printing technique we use is durable, safe, and worthy of Se’tyo quality.
So, printing? Coming soon.
We’ll let you know when it’s beautiful and reliable.
Our patterns aren’t printed on top — they’re built into the latex itself during the pouring process.
That means every swirl, glitter trail, or galaxy burst is mixed, layered, or manipulated by hand while the latex is still liquid.
Nothing is digitally printed or pressed afterward — these are real, physical interactions between color, material, and time. No two sheets are exactly alike or 100% reproduceable.
We’re still experimenting (and always upgrading), so if you have an idea or a vision for a specific pattern, we’re more than happy to explore custom approaches with you.
Every pattern is a little bit of art and a whole lot of experimentation.
This is one of our favorite parts.
Every color starts with pure pigment, mixed into the liquid latex by hand. The trick? What you see wet isn’t what you get. Latex changes color as it dries — sometimes dramatically — so we always test on a small scale first.
We offer two ways to request colors:
- Color Vibes – You tell us the general feeling (send pics or a palette), and we interpret it.
- Precise Color Match – You send us a RAL/Pantone number or a physical swatch, and we match it scientifically.
Color-matching takes time — every adjustment has to dry fully before we know if we nailed it. But we don’t stop until it’s right.
Standard production time is 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your order size and the complexity of the colors or patterns.
Need it faster? We offer an Express production option (2–3 weeks) for an additional fee. Technically, two weeks are the fastest possible.
Please note: Color matching adds about 1 extra week in both cases, since we need time to test and adjust.
Latex allergies are real — and we take them seriously. Natural latex contains proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in some people. These can range from mild (like itching or redness) to more serious symptoms (like breathing issues or, rarely, anaphylaxis).
If you’re unsure whether you’re allergic, we strongly recommend getting tested by a doctor before wearing latex clothing or working with our sheets.
Tip: Chlorinated latex is sometimes better tolerated by people with mild sensitivities — but always check with a medical professional first.
You’ve probably heard: “There’s no such thing as non-yellow white latex.” And yes — most white or clear latex has a natural yellow tint. But we’ve found a better way.
Thanks to Ruka’s background in painting techniques and color science, we know how to neutralize the yellow tint without using bleach, fillers, or silicone. The result? Our “white” and “crystal clear” latex sheets are 100% natural latex — just with a subtle grey cast, not yellow. See our product photos for real-life comparisons.
So yes, there is something whiter than regular white latex.
No filters, just science and a little color alchemy.
We currently offer standard latex sheet thicknesses between 0.25 mm and 1.20 mm, depending on the color and effect. Patterns and some special finishes (like glitters) are not available in 0.25mm. If you’re after something specific — also between the steps we offer in the shop, feel free to ask. We’re always experimenting. Our sheets are handmade, so thickness may vary slightly!
We use 100% natural liquid latex sourced from Malaysia — a region known for producing some of the world’s best-quality rubber. There, rubber trees are grown and harvested.
The latex is shipped to Germany in raw form, where we pigment, pour, and finish everything by hand in our Leipzig atelier.
No silicone, no shortcuts — just pure latex, turned into something beautiful.
