Abstract

This research aimed to study the preparation and properties of natural rubber adhesive for mat. Natural rubber latex adhesives were prepared from latex-type creaming and centrifugation process at 1, 2, 3 and 4 phr of sulfur. Mechanical and adhesive properties of natural rubber latex adhesives were investigated. The adhesive prepared from latex centrifuged with sulfur at 3 phr exhibited the best properties. In addition, the effect of Xanthan gum content at 10, 20, 30 and 40% by weight on the viscosity and adhesion properties were investigated. Viscosity and adhesive strength increased with increased Xanthan gum content. Adhesion properties of natural rubber latex adhesive and those of commercial rubber adhesives containing organic solvents were also compared. It was found that natural rubber latex adhesives possessed better adhesion properties than the organic solvent-based commercial adhesives.
