Abstract:
The overall objective of the present study was to
develop a novel and economic reclaiming process that does
not adversely affect the quality of rubber and to
investigate methods of utilising the reclaim. Since waste
latex products represent a potential source of high quality
rubber hydrocarbon, it was decided to develop a process
based on such latex wastes. The study revealed that latex
reclaim could replace raw natural rubber upto about 50 per
cent of its weight without any serious deterioration in
mechanical properties.
