Abstract

Hevea B-serum and bark sap acted synergistically to destabilise the high-density (Zone 2) rubber particles of latex. When bark sap was supplemented to B-serum and vice versa flocculation and coagulation of the rubber particles were greatly activated. Whereas coagulation by bark sap occurred only in the substantial presence of C-serum and that by B-serum required its absence the coagulation induced by various combinations of the two destabilisers had intermediate C-serum requirements. Hence given the appropriate combination of B-serum and bark sap coagulation could be evoked in the presence of practically any concentration of C-serum. The synergistic interaction of B-serum with bark sap serves as a mechanism by which B-serum can contribute actively in the destabilisation of rubber particles even in the presence of considerable amounts of C-serum as is the situation in latex.
