Radiation Vulcanization of Natural Rubber Latex

Radiation vulcanization of natural rubber latex is investigated and the effects of ingredients of NRL, content of n BA, radiation doses and storage time on tensile strength at break of films are discussed. The results indicate that appropriate latex is necessary for RVNRL. Actually 5 phr n BA is chosen and radiation dose of 20 kGy is decided by experiments. The radiation vulcanized latex may be stored for 2 months.
