Abstract

To assess natural rubber crystallisation during storage at low temperatures measurements were taken using the stress relaxation method. This method makes it possible to assess the overall crystallisation rate over a wide range of temperatures characterised by a melting point at the Tm equilibrium point which is determined by an empirical equation. In this study samples used differed in terms of clonal origin collection date processing and drying temperature. A statistical study of these factors showed differences in performance particularly due to drying temperature. Drying rubber at 125C rather than 65 C seems to reduce rubber bale crystallisation during storage at low temperatures.
