Abstract
An experiment was carried out to explore the possibility of utilising sunlight for drying raw latex grades of rubber. Results obtained indicate that sun drying of ribbed sheet rubber for three to four days for complete dryness will not adversely affect the physical or vulcanisate properties of the rubber. However in order to eliminate mould contamination of the sheet rubber smoking in a smoke house for one day is recommended. In the case of latex crepe rubber all grades including unfractioned and unbleached and fractioned and bleached sun drying for up to two complete days would not have any adverse effects on their properties. However overdrying in the sun for longer periods without overturning the lace causes tackiness.
