1、Natural LatexA.IntroductionB.Control Procedures第1页/共21页Introduction Centrifuged latex is processed into final articles by dipping,extruding,and coating.Different articles have different physical and chemical requirements,which means that the latex used in their manufacture must be modified by the ad

7、e latter constituents are principally latex proteins,lipids,and mineral salts.In the case of HA and LATZ latexes,those are commonly used in the production of gloves,the nonrubber constituents make up between 1%and 2%of natural latex.2.Determination of the Dry Rubber Content(DRC)of Latex第7页/共21页3.Mea
8、surement of Surface Tension Determination of the surface tension of latex is a very useful measure,as surface tension is a function of:1.The amount of soap added to stabilize the latex;2.The natural soaps formed after concentration from fatty acids in the lipid phase of the latex;3.The mineral salts
9、(mg/Na)that are present in the latex.A low surface tension value indicates good stability,although for use in dipping systems this could lead to a tendency to form webs of rubber.第8页/共21页 The pH of fresh latex is close to neutrality.It will change more or less rapidly owing to the presence of microo
10、rganisms and enzymes,leading to progressive acidification of the latex and eventually to spontaneous coagulation.Because ammonia is added to preserve the latex,that is,to prevent coagulation,pH determination is important,as the stability of the liquid latex depends to a great degree on its pH.4.pH M

13、cids are produced by microorganisms,a poorly preserved latexone with too many microorganismswill tend to have a high KOH number.A high KOH number is not,however,necessarily indicative of a poorly preserved latex,because this test does not distinguish between the ammonium salts of the acids whose ani
14、ons destabilize latex and those that enhance stability.5.KOH Number第11页/共21页 The KOH number is,nevertheless,an index of the quality of the latex.A high KOH number is usually taken as evidence of degradation of the latex owing to hydrolysis of proteins occurring after too long a period in storage.For
15、 example,a very fresh latex arriving in Europe after 6-10 wk in transport from the Far East might have a KOH number of 0.04-0.05,whereas an aged latex would have a KOH number of 0.70-0.8 on arrival.The KOH number of centrifuged or creamed latexes must.第12页/共21页 Mechanical stability is defined as the
16、 resistance of the latex to flocculation during stirring or agitation.It is measured by the mechanical stability time(MST)test in which latex is stirred rapidly(14,000 rpm)under standardized conditions and the time required for visual flocculation to occur is noted.6.Measurement of Mechanical Stabil
17、ity Expressed in seconds,this test allows the behavior of the latex to be evaluated during the course of the different operations it undergoes during its transformation into a finished product.The mechanical stability of natural latex should be 650 s.第13页/共21页 Mechanical stability tends to decrease
18、during long periods of transportation and storage owing to the slow hydrolysis of the stabilizers by the ammonia.It is therefore necessary to be very prudent when a natural latex is received and found to have low mechanical stability,for example,600 s.Such a latex is susceptible to the formation of
