Abstract

The steam sterilisation resistance of natural rubber latex films cured by conventional high sulphur and a sulphur-donor dithiodimorpholine is examined. Changes in physical properties such as tensile strength modulus and elongation at break and chemical crosslink density of the vulcanisates after steam treatment are monitored. The effect of addition of antioxidants on steam sterilisation is also investigated. A comparison is made between pre- and post-vulcanised films. The superiority of the sulphur-donor cure system is demonstrated.
