Abstract

Attempts were made to prepare natural rubber sheets by varying the drying time and drying conditions. Rheological and technological properties of rubber compounds based on ACS-1 and tread formula were evaluated. It was found that sun drying of rubber sheets for up to 2 days followed by smoking for up to 2 days could impart equivalent physical properties with that of purely smoked rubber. In addition it was found that drying of rubber sheets under sunlight for 2-4 days did not impart inferior physical properties.
