Abstract:
The main objective of the present study was to
explore ways of making latex products more cost effective
and versatile. Polyethylene glycol was identified as a
surface active agent in latex compounds which improves the
filler-polymer interaction and also distributes the filler
more uniformly. The use of such surface active agents can
develop filled latex products with improved mechanical
properties at a lower cost. In this study dispersions of carbon black and silica were successfully added to NR latex under high speed stirring without destabilizing latex.

Abstract:
The primary aim of this work has been to develop a cost effective
process that can be operated at room temperature for developing latex
reclaim with superior mechanical properties. With this objective in mind
the researcher proposes to study the reclaiming action of four different chemicals on
latex products waste. Waste latex products are chosen because it has a
higher potential to generate good quality rubber hydrocarbon since all
latex products are based on either high quality concentrated latex or
creamed latex. Moreover, all latex products are only lightly crosslinked
and not masticated and hence not mechanically degraded. The author also
proposes to fully explore the possible application of latex reclaim in various
fields..
