Natural rubber latex blended polystyrene emulsion for dipping products: preparation and properties

Deproteinized natural rubber latex (DPNR) was prepared using KAO protease enzyme to digest proteins from natural rubber low ammonia concentrated latex (NR-LA). Polystyrene latex (PS) was synthesized by emulsion polymerization technique for blending with natural rubber. The maximum fraction of PS ble...

description Deproteinized natural rubber latex (DPNR) was prepared using KAO protease enzyme to digest proteins from natural rubber low ammonia concentrated latex (NR-LA). Polystyrene latex (PS) was synthesized by emulsion polymerization technique for blending with natural rubber. The maximum fraction of PS blended NR-LA or DPNR used to obtain a homogenous film was 20% w/w. The 300% modulus of PS blended NR film was increased before and after aging at 100ºC for 22 hrs. The tensile strength and elongation at break were increased at NR/PS = 95/5 w/w and tended to decrease as PS blended fraction increased. DPNR films had a lower friction coefficient than NR-LA films. PS blended NR-LA or DPNR would decrease the friction coefficient of films. The rubber-surfaced friction is reduced. The extractable protein of NR-LA film was higher than 200 μg/g whereas that of DPNR film was lower than 50 μg/g. PS blended NR-LA and DPNR could reduce the extractable protein to less than 60 μg/g and 30μg/g, respectively. The physical properties of PS blended NR-LA met ASTM D3577 and ASTM D3578 standards for dipping products of surgical gloves and examination gloves at the maximum fraction of PS 15% w/w and 20% w/w, respectively, whereas PS blended DPNR only met ASTM D3577 standard at the maximum fraction of PS < 5% w/w.
