3、the residue. the value obtained is the sum of the dry rubber content plus the solid nonrubber contents, which includes the protein. latex that is used in the production of gloves, catheters, and so on has a tsc of 6062%.natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 the drc of latex is obtained by coagulating the rubber in

4、 the sample of latex to be assayed with acetic acid, then drying, washing and weighing the resulting mass of rubber. the difference between the trc and the drc is a measure of the of natural latex. the difference between the trc and the drc is a measure of the total nonrubber contents of the latex.

5、these 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

6、natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文3. measurement 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

7、 of the latex; 3. the mineral salts (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.natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 the ph of fresh latex is close to neutrality. it will chang

8、e more or less rapidly owing to the presence of microorganisms 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

9、 the liquid latex depends to a great degree on its ph. 4. ph measurementnatural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 in addition, ammonia has an indirect influence on stability, increasing colloidal stability through the formation of fatty acid surfactants. when the ph of a latex is less than 9.5, which may occur, especi

10、ally in the case of la latex, then the ph must be watched very closely, frequently having to be increased chemically when it is received and siphoned at its final destination.natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 the koh number is a measure of the concentration of acid radicals that would have been present as free

11、 acids were it not for the presence of ammonia that has converted them to ammonium salts. since some of these acids 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 o

12、f a poorly preserved latex ,because this test does not distinguish between the ammonium salts of the acids whose anions destabilize latex and those that enhance stability.5. koh numbernatural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 the koh number is, nevertheless, an index of the quality of the latex. a high koh number is u

13、sually taken as evidence of degradation of the latex owing to hydrolysis of proteins occurring after too long a period in storage. for 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

14、koh number of 0.70-0.8 on arrival. the koh number of centrifuged or creamed latexes must not exceed 1.0.natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 mechanical stability is defined as the resistance of the latex to flocculation during stirring or agitation. it is measured by the mechanical stability time (mst) test in wh

15、ich 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 stability expressed in seconds, this test allows the behavior of the latex to be evaluated during the course of the different operatio

16、ns it undergoes during its transformation into a finished product. the mechanical stability of natural latex should be 650 s. natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 mechanical stability tends to decrease during long periods of transportation and storage owing to the slow hydrolysis of the stabilizers by the ammonia

17、. 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 grains and will be filterable with difficulty. manufacturers generally avoid this problem by adding stabiliz

18、ers such as an anionic fatty acid alcohol, for example, lauryl sulfate.natural latex天然膠乳-膠乳英文 among the physico-chemical properties of latex, viscosity is one of the most important with respect to the production and processing of latex products. the viscosity of a fluid is the ratio of the shear stress to the shear rate during its flow.7. viscosity most latexes exhibit decreasing viscosity with increasing shear rate and for this reason any reference to latex viscosity should include a description of the method
