Natural Rubber Latex Wastes from Balloon Production as Valuable Source of Raw Material: Processing, Physico-Mechanical Properties, and Structure
PublicationThis study explores the potential for recycling natural rubber (NR) latex waste from balloon production through the devulcanization and revulcanization processes. The mechanical devulcanization of colored latex balloon waste was conducted, followed by revulcanization using a sulfur-based system. The reclaimed rubber’s properties, including crosslink density, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance, were compared with those of...

Natural Rubber Latex - Origin, Specification and Application
PublicationThe chapter contains information about the origin of natural rubber latex (NRL) (Hevea brasiliensis) and the processing of field latex, considering quality changes occurring during the preparation of raw materials for distribution. The main types of concentrated natural rubber latex are described. A specification of natural rubber latex (NRL) in terms of key parameters tested by manufacturers and customers is presented. Test methods...
