Abstract

Reduction of water extractable proteins (EP) in dry natural rubber latex films could be accelerated by incorporating ultrasonic waves into the leaching system. The rate of EP reduction for prevulcanised latex films was found to be higher than that of post-vulcanised latex films due to the larger surface area of prevulcanised latex films. It was also observed that leaching of latex films in the pres ence of ultrasonic waves did not affect the tensile strength of both aged and unaged films.
