Magnesium content in natural rubber latex

Abstract

Measurements and control of magnesium content in natural rubber latex is very important in centryfuged latex industry as the Mg content affects the stability of latex, very significantly. In this study, an investigation was carried out to find the effect of seasonal and regional variations in Mg content of natural rubber latex. A titration method was used to estimate the Mg content in latices. The Mg content of NR latex was found to be dependent on seasonal variations
